Notes: *Prior to 2002-03, the end-of-grade reading scale score range was 114-187. From 2002-03 to 2006-07, the end-of-grade reading scale score range was 216-290.
Beginning in 2007-08 and beyond, the end-of-grade reading scale score range is <330 to >370 and this range is used to calculate all end-of-grade reading data.
Percents are rounded to the nearest tenth. Due to rounding, data many not sum to 100.0 percent. End-of-grade retest data are not included in this table. See Appendix A for student
proficiency with retest scores included. Full descriptions of achievement level ranges are located at http://sbepolicy.dpi.state.nc.us/
Data received from LEAs and charter schools after September 6, 2012 are not included in this table.

Notes: *Prior to 2000-01, the end-of-grade mathematics scale score range was 98-208. From 2000-01 to 2004-05, the end-of-grade mathematics scale score range was 218-310.
Beginning in 2005-06 and beyond, the end-of-grade mathematics scale score range is <328 to >368 and this range is used to calculate all end-of-grade mathematics data.
Percents are rounded to the nearest tenth. Due to rounding, data many not sum to 100.0 percent. End-of-grade retest data are not included in this table. See Appendix A for student
proficiency with retest scores included. Full descriptions of achievement level ranges are located at http://sbepolicy.dpi.state.nc.us/
Data received from LEAs and charter schools after September 6, 2012 are not included in this table.

"N" is the number of students who took an end-of-course test in the indicated subject.
"Percent At or Above Level III" is calculated based on actual N counts and is not the sum of each percent.
*Performance data are not reported when membership is fewer than five. Performance data that are less than 5.0 percent, or greater than or equal to 95.0 percent, are not displayed.
Due to rounding, gender categories in some subjects may not add to 100.0 percent.
When summed, gender N counts may not match the state N counts because gender was not coded on some student answer sheets.
End-of-course retest data are not included in the table. See Appendix A for student proficiency with retest scores included.
