This means that The Grove School schoolwide data will have to be used in comparing results to schools within Redlands Unified School District. Due to a fairly small number of students in 11 th grade, of an average of 35 students, a few students and their individual CAASPP results can change the schoolwide test results dramatically. This can be seen in the 2016 results, where the percentage increased 17% from 2015 and then decreased 13% in 2017. Another example of abnormal changes in results due to small numbers of students is in the Economically Disadvantaged subgroup where the percentage of students meeting the standard fluctuates up 20% and then down 30% within three years. With smaller numbers of students, it often makes it challenging, if not inaccurate, to generalize some of the results to the how TGS is doing as a whole school. This is why it is important to look at three or four year averages, in order to get a larger sample size from which to work. TGS Charter Renewal PAGE 8 of 127
