Notes: The year of implementation is listed below the subject. Beginning in 1993-94, where possible, scores for the entire accountability year are reported. The 1995-96 data are based on all cycles of testing for the July 1 to June 30 accountability year. Algebra I was
first scaled in 1993-94, and U.S. History, English I and Biology in 1994-95 and 1995-96. Bold vertical lines between years indicate that the scores changed from mean raw core scores to mean scale scores and, therefore, are not comparable across years separated
by the bold vertical lines. Numbers to the left of these lines are mean raw core scores and numbers to the right are mean scale scores. From 1995-96 to 1997-98, five tests were administered statewide in the five high school subject areas. Other end-of-course
multiple-choice tests were administered as a local option and are not included in this report. Beginning in 1998-99, the ten tests in the table above were mandated statewide. Data for 1995-96 through 1997-98 are not available for Algebra II, Chemistry,
Geometry, Physical Science and Physics as these tests were not mandated during this period.
1
Participation Index is the number of students enrolled in the course, divided by the number of students who were in the eighth grade the year in which typical students in the course were in grade eight.
2
The Algebra I score in 1993-94 and the Biology, English I and U.S. History scores in 1994-95 are the mean scale scores.
3
Average core score is the mean raw score on the common items for all students.
Data received from LEAs and charter schools after August 2001 are not included in this table.
Prepared by the NCDPI Division of Accountability Services/Testing Section.

"Percent At or Above Level III" is calculated based on actual N-counts and is not summed.
Due to rounding, some ethnicity categories in some courses may not sum to 100%.
When summed, ethnic N-counts may not match the state N-counts because an ethnic category may not have been coded on the answer
sheet, or, the choice of "Other" was coded.
Data received from LEAs and charter schools after August 2001 are not included in this table.

Notes: *As of 1998-99, five additional courses were mandated; since there are no data available prior to 1998-99 for these five courses, they are not included in these figures.
“N Tested” and “N Level III, IV” for the ethnic categories do not sum to the “N Tested” and “N Level III, IV” for the state because ethnicity was not coded in some student
answer sheets and, therefore, some students were reported in the state data only.
Data received from LEAs and charter schools after August 2001 are not included in these figures.

Notes: *Percent for "Not Exceptional" through "Trainable Mentally Disabled" is based on the sum of the students in those categories. Percent for
"Section 504" through "Migrant" is based on the number tested in the "All Students" category.
**No scores are reported for groups with fewer than thirty students.
"Not Exceptional," "Academically Gifted" and "Students with Disabilities" do not sum to "All Students" because whether or not some students were
classified as exceptional was not coded on the answer sheets. The "All Students" and "Not Exceptional" categories are added for comparison purposes.
Data received from LEAs and charter schools after August 2001 are not included in this table.
