While this method helps to celebrate the successes enjoyed by schools of all types, in a certain sense it
still lacks a fully clear picture. The newly devised
Growth Score (GS)
is an effort to continue to improve and
expand the scope of this report. The GS is determined by adding the difference in Quality Scores from one year
to the next for the three most recent years. This means that in the current report, GS is determined on the basis
of the difference in scores from 2011-2012, 2012-2013, and 2013-2014. As an example, Wolmers Girls’ School
Growth Score for Math is below:

Effectively, GS tells us where a school currently is in relation to where it was three years ago. In this
way we may happily report that the schools enjoying the greatest growth in English Scores are as follows:
