Understanding the Imagine Galileo Categorical Growth Summary

The Admin Dashboard includes a Categorical Growth Summary that Administrators can use to see if schools and individual classes have maintained the expected growth of their students in the specific subjects. The categorical growth analysis of student scores is based on the comparison between the earliest and most recent benchmark assessments.
