Summative assessments give a snapshot of student learning at one point in time. The Academic Achievement
and Growth Report is itself a snapshot of achievement and growth in the 2019-2020 school year. Already this

journeys of resilience, innovation, diverse opportunities, and engagement. There is no more important work
than ensuring the achievement and growth of all students who attend our schools.
