Math and Science Growth Scores for RISE and Utah Aspire Plus Now Available
2024-25 growth scores for RISE and Utah Aspire Plus math and science are now available in Tableau. You can access these scores at the following links:
- RISE Math Proficiency and Growth
- RISE Science Proficiency and Growth
- Utah Aspire Plus Math Scores Over Time
- Utah Aspire Plus Science Scores Over Time
In addition, proficiency and growth scores for 2024-25 are also available on the state’s Data Gateway. Both the Student Proficiency and Student Growth reports now have scores for both math and science.
As a reminder, growth scores for RISE and Utah Aspire Plus are calculated by USBE in partnership with the Center for Assessment. For more information to help you understand how growth is calculated, please see this helpful video.
With the core change that prompted a change in the RISE assessment, RISE ELA recently underwent a standard setting to determine new cut scores. The state board of education is scheduled to review the new cut scores in their September board meeting. Thus, proficiency and growth scores will not be released until October. School accountability report cards and TSI/ATSI/CSI exits and designations will be released in January 2026.
For questions about the information provided in this memo, please contact Ben Jameson in Assessment, Research & Accountability.
