Achievement Levels
Level I
Students performing at Achievement Level I do not have
sufficient mastery of knowledge and skills in the subject area
to be successful at the next grade level.
Level II
Students performing at Achievement Level II demonstrate
inconsistent mastery of knowledge and skills in the subject area
and are minimally prepared to be successful at the next grade level.
Level III
Students performing at Achievement Level III consistently
demonstrate mastery of the grade level subject matter and skills
and are well-prepared for the next grade level.
Level IV
Students performing at Achievement Level IV consistently
perform in a superior manner clearly beyond that required to be
proficient at grade level work.
Notes: Percents are rounded to the nearest tenth.
Due to rounding, data for some grades in certain years may not add to 100%.
Data received from LEAs after August 2001 are not included in this table.

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 depicted 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.
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.
1
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.

*"Percent at or Above Level III" is calculated based on actual N counts and is not summed.
Due to rounding, some categories in some courses may not sum to 100%.
When summed, male and female N counts may not match the state N counts because students may not have identified themselves as male or female.
Data received from LEAs and charter schools after August 2001 are not included in this table.
