Schools with higher prior achievement levels in Math tend to show higher growth in Math

For each school in San Francisco that serves middle schoolers, Math growth score for 2024 as a function of the average Distance from Met in 2023.

Trend line calculated based just on the schools shown. Squares are K-8 Schools; circles indicate middle schools. The two KIPP schools are shown as middle schools but have small 5th grade classes too. The size of the square or circle is based on the number of students in grades 4-8 who took the SBAC test in both 2024 and 2023 and hence were included in the growth score calculation.
