NWEA's Virtual Comparison Group Analysis

If you are assessing your students using NWEA's Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) in the fall and spring you are eligible to purchase NWEA's virtual comparison group (VCG) reports. The VCG analysis determines how your school's longitudinal growth compares nationally, based on students in the same grades and with similar starting RIT points. VCG reports provide excellent evidence for understanding your school's performance on a national level. 

 
The League contracts with NWEA to conduct a Virtual Comparison Group (VCG) analysis for schools and can write an accompanying document to help schools interpret their results. This analysis is run over the summer months, with reports provided to you in time for instructional planning efforts in August.  

When purchased through the League, the cost for the VCG report is $0.90 per student, plus a $25 surcharge. Customization of the VCG reports, such as separate reports by grade level (elementary, middle, and high school grades) gender or ethnicity, are available through NWEA for an additional charge. If you would like the League to summarize your school's results in a concise report suitable for parents, board members or authorizer (excellent for inclusion in your annual report), the cost is $100.
