Grade Placement (GP) is a numeric representation of a student’s grade level. It is shown as a decimal, with the integer being the student’s grade and the decimal being the percentage of the school year that has passed when a student completed an assignment or test; for example, a GP of 3.25 would represent a third-grade student who is one-quarter of the way through the school year. For purposes of this calculation, a “school year” is the span between First Day for Students and Last Day for Students, which are entered as part of the new school year setup process. GP is important because PR and NCE values are based not only on the Scaled Score but also on the grade placement of the student at the time of the test.
Grade Placements for pre-K students are negative numbers.
GP can be found on the following reports:
