School Year Fall-to-Spring Change

9%

The fall-to-spring change in IRI proficiency is calculated only among students who took both assessments at the entity listed on this page. This result may not match the difference between the separately reported fall and spring rates.

*These results were provided to the SDE and Local Education Agencies by Istation, and reflect a new set of norming standards that were applied in Idaho and nationwide. Though these new norms reflect a dip in student proficiency scores, this decrease is seen nationwide and is reflective of a shift in national scores for all early literacy students. As a result, the 2023 IRI data are not immediately comparable to IRI data from previous assessment years.
