Lexile® Percentiles Available on MAP Growth
The Lexile® Framework for Reading is used to measure the ability for a student to read linked with the complexity of the text read. NWEA MAP Growth has provided a Lexile measure for the Reading assessments. The percentile of the student’s Lexile measure for the Reading assessment is placed in a percentile according to the grade level of the student and the time period of the testing season. The time of year is broken down into the common three testing windows: Fall, Winter, and Spring. The Lexile ranges for percentile grouping have been sourced from the Lexile® & Quantile® Hub which is maintained by MetaMetrics, Inc. Below is an example of the Fall cut scores for percentile grouping.

Groups
Grouping the percentiles by grade level is the default view for the chart. But we have added a drop-down choice to make selections for custom percentile grouping.
