"Academic Peers" are all students in the same grade being tested in the same subject and having a similar statewide assessment score history in that subject prior to the current year.
"Quantile Regression" is a statistical regression procedure where various quantiles are predicted from an existing set of data rather than predicting the mean response as in typical regression procedures.
A "Student Growth Percentile" is the position of a student's current statewide assessment scale score relative to academic peers.
