How to read this

What's being measured

Growth is the CMAS median growth percentile (MGP): 50 is the state median, so above 50 means students grew faster than the typical Colorado student. The district line shows whether a campus out-grows the schools its students would otherwise attend. Achievement is the mean CMAS scale score. Subgroups compare traditionally-underserved students (free/reduced lunch, students of color, students with disabilities) at the campus against the same group in the district. The CARS rating is CSI's overall accreditation judgment. Where a subgroup or a campus has too few students, the value is suppressed and shown as "n/a."

  • MGP (growth) — median growth percentile on CMAS; 50 is the statewide median.
  • MSS (achievement) — mean CMAS scale score across tested grades.
  • Underserved — CSI's traditionally-underserved categories: free/reduced lunch, students of color, students with disabilities, multilingual learners, gifted. The first three have enough students to report at most campuses.
  • ACCESS — English-language-prof
