Data SGP is an online platform that provides valuable insights and data for lottery players. Using this information, players can refine their strategy to increase their chances of winning. The site offers historical results and trends for a variety of lottery games, including 4D, Toto, Singapore Sweep, and more. This information can be used to identify patterns and number frequencies that can enhance betting strategies.

SGPs are based on up to two years of historical MCAS data. Students’ performance on each subject-matter test is compared to that of academic peers with comparable score histories. Academic peers are identified through a statistical process that places the scores of all students statewide with similar score histories on a normative scale, taking into account student demographic characteristics (e.g., student gender, family income) and educational programs (e.g., sheltered English immersion, special education).

When you log in to data sgp, the first screen shows an overview of your selected districts or subset of schools, with their mean SGPs shown on a lighter blue bar chart. Each darker blue bar represents a school in your selected district or subset, with a tooltip showing the school name when you hover over it. The graphs that follow can be filtered to view SGPs for only your selected schools.

A key feature of SGPs is that they provide growth data for all students—even those with high raw score averages from past MCAS tests. This is because SGPs take into account the fact that a student’s highest scores aren’t necessarily indicative of his or her academic progress. To determine a student’s SGP in a given year, the MCAS system compares the student’s current scaled score to that of his or her academic peers with the same score history.

The sgpData exemplar data set (installed with the SGPdata package) contains an anonymized, panel data set that includes 5 years of vertically scaled assessment data in WIDE format. This exemplary data set models the format for the lower level studentGrowthPercentiles and studentGrowthProjections functions.

For this year’s SGPs, scaled scores for all MCAS content areas have been normalized to a common scale of 0-100. This change is necessary to ensure that SGPs are valid for all students. The graphs that display students’ SGPs in the Student Profile/Growth dashboard use this new scaling for all data.

Despite this change, the SGPs in the Student Profile/Growth tool continue to represent real scaled score changes for individual students. The scaled score changes are reflected in the data grids that accompany the graphs, as well as in the underlying raw data files for each teacher and subject area. However, for the remainder of this school year and next, the statewide growth data files will not include the scaled scores of individual students’ MCAS assessment records. This is a technical issue that will be addressed in the future. SGPs will still be available for students in grades 4 through 11 and for high school grades beginning in fall 2019.
