The MAP Growth National Dashboard gives real-time insights into national achievement and growth, helping educators understand local trends.

NWEA’s MAP Growth National Dashboard provides timely trends and data on U.S. student academic achievement and growth for grades K-8. This free public tool supports district leaders, state and federal policymakers, and other education stakeholders in interpreting local data within a broader national and state context. It helps identify areas of strength, shine light on disparities, and ground policy conversations in evidence.

This interactive tool provides information about academic achievement and growth for several categories of US schools that used MAP Growth assessments. These groups included secular and religious private schools (including Roman Catholic, Jewish, Lutheran, Islamic, Seventh-Day Adventist, and other religiously affiliated institutions) as well as public charter schools. Use this dashboard to examine patterns of growth and achievement across seasons, academic subjects, school types, and student demographics.
