Abstract

This paper studies main elements that affects to school growth models linked to longitudinal design features. First, we include student knowledge initial status as predictor of student growth rate. In doing this, it is possible to control unpleasant effects of statistical regression on school rankings.That problem is studied with longitudinal mathematics and reading database of three parallel cohorts that collect data from 153 schools and 6,689 students of three cycles of Spanish educational system (last two grades of Elementary Education and four grades of Compulsory Secondary Education) with four measurement occasions collected at two academic years. Main results show that ignoring regression effect conduct to school misclassifications at school initial status and school growth rate, even when regression effect has small influence at school sample means since its magnitude is low but significant. This misclassification has important repercussions whether these indexes are used to develop improvement programs or to give sanctions or rewards to schools.
