Q - Student Growth File 2024-2025

Introduction

The Student Growth File captures information regarding academic growth for students participating in the Learning Assistance Program (LAP). Districts are required to report to OSPI the amount of academic growth gained by students participating in the LAP English Language Arts (program code 37), LAP Math (program code 6), LAP Academic Readiness (program code 7), LAP Behavior (program code 38), and Washington Reading Corps Literacy Support (program code 44)

Districts are also required to report student entrance and exit assessment data as well as the services used to support LAP students. There should be one record per student per LAP enrollment for the current school year. For example, if a student enters, exits, and re-enters a program, there will be two records reflecting two separate enrollments in the program. If a student is participating in or receiving services for more than one program, there should be a record for each program.

Selection Criteria

Selection criteria determine which database records are used in the report. Refer to selection criteria for analysis of report results when the report does not return the correct records.

4. The student must not be excluded from state reporting.
5. The student must not be excluded from CEDARS reporting.
6. The student's school must not be excluded from state reporting.

1. The Program Start Date must be on or before the last day of the current school year.
2. The Program Start Date must be on or before the current date.
