Those benchmarks are based off of past performances of peers, but not current peer performance. So it just depends on what you mean by "peers". 

Proficiency: Can Johnny read at the 3rd grade level by May?
Growth: How much did Johnny's reading level increase from September to May?

Ok thanks for the clarification. Yes it makes more sense to use the previous years students as a base line for the Proficiency side. :andy:
