"Number Tested" is the number of students who participated in the end-of-grade test in ELA and mathematics. The number of accommodations is based
on the number of students who received the accommodation in either ELA or mathematics.
2
"Percent" is calculated based on the number tested in the "All Students" category.
3
The "Percent At or Above Level 3" is calculated by dividing the number of students passing both ELA and mathematics tests at or above Achievement
Level 3 by the number of students with valid scores in both ELA and mathematics; therefore, the data do not include students tested only in ELA or mathematics.
4
The "Percent At or Above Level 4" is calculated by dividing the number of students passing both ELA and mathematics tests at or above Achievement Level 4
by the number of students with valid scores in both ELA and mathematics; therefore, the data do not include students tested only in ELA or mathematics.
*Performance data are not reported when membership is fewer than five.
**Use of the "Interpreter/Transliterator Signs/Cues Test" or "Test Administrator Reads Test Aloud (in English)" accommodations
during the administration of state tests that measure reading comprehension skills invalidates the results of the test.
Notes: Accommodations are available for students with Individualized Education Programs, Section 504 Plans, limited English proficiency documentation,
and/or transitory impairment documentation.
Performance data are masked when results are less than or equal to 5.0 percent, or greater than or equal to 95.0 percent.
All data are rounded to the nearest tenth; therefore, accommodation categories may not sum to 100.0 percent.
Data received from local education agencies, charter schools, and the regional school after October 28, 2015 are not included in this table.

"Number Tested" is the number of students who participated in the end-of-grade test in science. The number of accommodations is based
on the number of students who received the accommodation in science.
2
"Percent" is calculated based on the number tested in the "All Students" category.
3
The "Percent At or Above Level 3" is calculated by dividing the number of students passing the science test at or above Achievement
Level 3 by the number of students with valid scores in science.
4
The "Percent At or Above Level 4" is calculated by dividing the number of students passing the science test at or above Achievement Level 4
by the number of students with valid scores in science.
*Performance data are not reported when membership is fewer than five.
Notes: Accommodations are available for students with Individualized Education Programs, Section 504 Plans, limited English proficiency documentation,
and/or transitory impairment documentation.
Performance data are masked when results are less than or equal to 5.0 percent, or greater than or equal to 95.0 percent.
All data are rounded to the nearest tenth; therefore, accommodation categories may not sum to 100.0 percent.
Data received from local education agencies, charter schools, and the regional school after October 28, 2015 are not included in this table.

*Performance data are not reported when membership is fewer than five.
**Use of the "Interpreter/Transliterator Signs/Cues Test" or "Test Administrator Reads Test Aloud (in English)" accommodations
during the administration of state tests that measure reading comprehension skills invalidates the results of the test.
Notes: Accommodations are available for students with Individualized Education Programs, Section 504 Plans, limited English proficiency documentation,
