About HMH Growth Measures

If you have access to HMH Growth Measure, then you are able to assign HMH Growth Measure assessments to your classes.

The HMH Growth Measures are a collection of research-based benchmark assessments that provide educators with an overall insight into how their students are performing in their grade level. With the exception of the Growth Measure Reading K–2, which is a fixed-form assessment, all other Growth Measure assessments (Growth Measure Reading, Spanish Reading Growth Measure, and Growth Measure Math) are computer-adaptive tests (CAT) that provide data on students’ reading or math performance on grade-level expectations and growth over time. The HMH Growth Measures offer multiple measures including a Scaled Score and performance levels. As computer-adaptive tests, they must be taken online and cannot be printed for offline testing.

These research-based tests also supplement the set of standards-based assessments within HMH programs to offer a holistic view of each student’s growth.

The test considers each student’s grade level and, in some cases, previous performance in an earlier test (if taken) to present the appropriate items. For both the Math and Reading tests, there are stages, and as students complete those stages, the assessment adjusts at many levels, driving an accurate view of the students’ performance across an established set of key standards that are appropriate for each subject and grade level.
