Now, students meet growth if their scores improve from one proficiency level to the next, or move sufficiently within the lower proficiency levels.<\/li>\n<li>The previous system included a \u201ccompletion index\u201d for the 12thgrade score, which gave schools partial credit for GED completers and other types of non-traditional diplomas. These students do not accumulate credit in the new system, per state statute.
