How to Read This Report

The State Test is the primary elementary assessment required by the State Board of Education. The new test was first administered in the 2014-2015 school year. The State Test is administered in the spring of each school year state-wide. This document contains school-level results from the Spring State Test administrations.

Students were tested in both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics. Students in grades 3-8 were required to take their grade-level test. High School students in the 2016-2017 began taking the SAT and are no longer required to take the State Test.

Student performance on the State Test is classified into one of five performance levels: Level 1 (Did Not Meet Expectations), Level 2 (Partially Met Expectations), Level 3 (Approached Expectations), Level 4 (Met Expectations) or Level 5 (Exceeded Expectations). The state has defined meeting proficiency in either subject (ELA or math) as achieving in either Level 4 (Met Expectations) or Level 5 (Exceeded Expectations).

This dataset also contains Demographic Information for all schools in a separate tab.

Information on Inclusions and Exclusions
47
All students with valid scores are included, including English Learners, diverse learners, and students in charter and Options schools. Students with severe cognitive disabilities take the State's alternate assessment for diverse learners (the Dynamic Learning Maps, or DLM) instead of the State Test.

Meeting expectations in a sub-score category (e.g. Reading Literary Text) does not correlate with a Performance Level (1-5). These scores are reserved for overall ELA and math scores.

Scale scores between test types cannot be combined, so no mean scale score can be computed for combined-grade averages.
