Notes: *No scores are reported for groups with fewer than thirty students.
1
Percents for "Not Exceptional" through "Trainable Mentally Disabled" are based on the sum of the students in those categories.
Percents for "Section 504" through "Migrant" as well as AG and LD categories are based on the number tested in the "All Students" category.
2
The standard for grade-level proficiency is a test score at Level III or above on high school comprehensive tests in reading and mathematics.
The "All Students" and "Not Exceptional" categories are shown for the purpose of comparison.
"Not Exceptional," "Academically Gifted" and "Students with Disabilities" do not sum to "All Students" because some student answer sheets
were not coded completely.
All data are rounded to the nearest tenth, therefore, exceptional categories may not sum to 100%.
"Number Tested" is the number of students who took the high school comprehensive test in reading.
Data received from LEAs and charter schools after August 2001 are not included in this table.

Notes: *No scores are reported for groups with fewer than thirty students.
Accommodations reported may have been implemented only for reading, only for mathematics, or for both portions of the test.
Accommodations are available for students with disabilities, limited English proficiency or temporary disabilities.
All data rounded to the nearest tenth, therefore, accommodation categories may not sum to 100%.
"Number tested" is the number of students who took the High School Comprehensive test in reading.
**The "Interpreter Signs Test" and "Test Administrator Reads Test Aloud" accommodations are prohibited from use during the administration
of tests that measure reading skills.
