Progress and Growth filter for two consecutive testing sessions
In "School Profile" under "Growth and Achievement" it would be very useful to be able to compare 2 consecutive testing sessions. We have run across an issue with potential cheating and we cannot run a progress/growth report between Spring 2023 and Fall 2023.
We can run Fall to Fall, but then the growth numbers take into account several testing sessions and we cannot identify easily the students that only grew rapidly on this last testing session. It is possible to see a student growth of 30 points over a fall-to-fall period, but we are seeing that from spring to fall. Without going into each individual student profile, there is no way to identify the students with abnormal growth from spring to fall.
The drop-down menus for "start term" and "end term" in the "school Profile" could simply have all testing sessions added to make this feature available.

I'd like to be able to set any Rostered;Start term; and End term parameters that I'd like to see for teacher and school growth reports. Particularly, I'd like to be able set for Rostered current year; Start term Spring of previous year, and end term Winter (even fall) of current year.
Essentially, we want to eliminate motivation for teachers to "sandbag" fall testing to make growth easier to attain by running all of our growth measure back to spring of the previous year.
