				  school year, the progress index will award 150 points for each ELA and math
				  score meeting or exceeding the "growth to mastery" target set by the

1. The growth to mastery target
				  will be calculated by adding to the prior year scaled score the difference
				  between the 8th grade scaled score required for mastery (750) and the prior
				  year assessment scaled score divided by the number of years for the student to
				  reach 8th grade (8 - prior-year grade). For students with prior-year grade 7,
				  the growth to mastery target is a score of mastery.
2. Growth to mastery targets will be rounded
				  to the nearest whole number but must be at least one point above the prior year
				  scaled score.
