Abstract	The Arizona Measure of Academic Progress (MAP) was developed using the Stanford 9 Achievement Test (SAT9) scores for the period from Spring 1998 to Spring 1999. The Research and Policy Division of the Arizona Department of Education matched students who took the SAT9 in Spring of 1998 and 1999. On average, 89% of students were matched per grade level between the two test administrations. The unit of analysis for the MAP is the grade level within a school. This document contains state summary reports for reading and mathematics that show the district, school, and "star rating." The star rating, a new indicator for this report, indicates the performance by grade level of a school in relation to other schools in the state, with a five-star rating for excellent performance and a one-star rating for schools in the lowest 20% of Arizona schools. In addition to the state summary reports, the document contains grade level reports for reading and mathematics that list each school in alphabetical order by district and school. These grade level reports show whether or not the school achieved one year of growth in the calendar year (another new indicator), the school's star rating, and the school's 1999 SAT9 percentile rank.
