A simple illustration shows that the manner in which we usually measure school growth doesn't really measure growth at all.
Mary Perfitt-Nelson's insight:
"There’s something to be said for measuring performance over time and incentivizing improvement using available data, and changes in cross-sectional rates/scores are, for the moment, all that is available in many places (though that is changing).
