Alternate assessments include the Alternate Assessment Academic Inventory (AAAI) and the Alternate Assessment Portfolio (AAP).
Data for "Number Tested," "Alternate Assessments," "LEP," and "Absent" do not equal "Verified Membership" because transfers and misadministrations are included in "Verified Membership."
Some columns may not add up to the total due to miscoding or rounding. These data represent coding on the 2002-03 grade 3 pretest student answer sheets.
The total for "All Students with Disabilities" includes Section 504.
Data received from LEAs and charter schools after August 27, 2003 are not included in this table.

Notes:*The North Carolina mathematics tests measure the competencies in the 1998 North Carolina mathematics curriculum beginning in the 2000-01 school year.
**N counts equal the number of students tested; previous years are comparable.
The "Percent of Students At or Above Level III in Both Reading and Mathematics" is calculated by dividing the number of the students passing both reading and
mathematics test at or above Achievement Level III by the number of students with valid scores in both reading and mathematics; therefore, the data do not
include students tested only in reading or mathematics or taking the alternate assessments.
The inclusion of Black and White ethnic groups in Figure 2 reflects their status as the largest ethnic groups in the state.
Data received from LEAs and charter schools after August 19, 2003 are not included in these figures.

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: *The adjusted achievement level ranges for reading generated in 2002 are used to calculate all data since 2002-03.
Percents are rounded to the nearest tenth; due to rounding, data many not sum to 100.0 percent.
Data received from LEAs and charter schools after August 19, 2003 are not included in this table.

Notes: 1The "Verified Membership" for the end-of-grade tests is the total number of students enrolled in the grade represented by the number of unique students on the school system's Masterbuild file at the time of the
actual test administration.
2
The "Number of Student Records" is the number of student test answer sheets scanned into SO3 files after the test administration.
3
Alternate assessments include the Alternate Assessment Academic Inventory (AAAI) and the Alternate Assessment Portfolio (AAP).
Data for "Number Tested," "Alternate Assessments," "LEP," and "Absent" do not equal "Verified Membership" because transfers and misadministrations are included in "Verified Membership."
Some columns may not add up to the total due to miscoding or rounding. These data represent coding on the 2002-03 end-of-grade answer sheets.
The total for "All Students with Disabilities" includes Section 504.
Data received from LEAs and charter schools after August 19, 2003 are not included in this table.

Notes: 1The "Verified Membership" for the end-of-grade tests is the total number of students enrolled in the grade represented by the number of unique students on the school system's Masterbuild file at the time of the
actual test administration.
The "Number of Student Records" is the number of student test answer sheets scanned into SO3 files after the test administration.
3
Alternate assessments include the Alternate Assessment Academic Inventory (AAAI) and the Alternate Assessment Portfolio (AAP).
2
Data for "Number Tested," "Alternate Assessments," "LEP," and "Absent" do not equal "Verified Membership" because transfers and misadministrations are included in "Verified Membership."
Some columns may not add up to the total due to miscoding or rounding. These data represent coding on the 2002-03 end-of-grade answer sheets.
The total for "All Students with Disabilities" includes Section 504.
Data received from LEAs and charter schools after August 19, 2003 are not included in this table.

Notes: 1The "Verified Membership" for the end-of-grade tests is the total number of students enrolled in the grade represented by the number of unique students on the school system's Masterbuild file at the time of the
actual test administration.
2
The "Number of Student Records" is the number of student test answer sheets scanned into SO3 files after the test administration.
3
Alternate assessments include the Alternate Assessment Academic Inventory (AAAI) and the Alternate Assessment Portfolio (AAP).
Data for "Number Tested," "Alternate Assessments," "LEP," and "Absent" do not equal "Verified Membership" because transfers and misadministrations are included in "Verified Membership."
Some columns may not add up to the total due to miscoding or rounding. These data represent coding on the 2002-03 end-of-grade answer sheets.
The total for "All Students with Disabilities" includes Section 504.
Data received from LEAs and charter schools after August 19, 2003 are not included in this table.

Notes: 1The "Verified Membership" for the end-of-grade tests is the total number of students enrolled in the grade represented by the number of unique students on the school system's Masterbuild file at the time of the
actual test administration.
2
The "Number of Student Records" is the number of student test answer sheets scanned into SO3 files after the test administration.
3
Alternate assessments include the Alternate Assessment Academic Inventory (AAAI) and the Alternate Assessment Portfolio (AAP). The Computerized Adaptive Testing System (CATS) is an accommodation
Data for "Number Tested," "Alternate Assessments," "LEP," and "Absent" do not equal "Verified Membership" because transfers and misadministrations are included in "Verified Membership."
Some columns may not add up to the total due to miscoding or rounding. These data represent coding on the 2002-03 end-of-grade answer sheets.
The total for "All Students with Disabilities" includes Section 504.
Data received from LEAs and charter schools after August 19, 2003 are not included in this table.

"Percent of All Students" within a category may not add up to 100.0 percent due to rounding or blanks.
*No scores are reported for groups with fewer than thirty students.
Last year students received overall portfolio achievement levels and growth, this year students received achievement levels in Reading and Mathematics as well as an overall growth indication.
Data are not collected for Section 504 or Specific Learning Disabled students by subject.
When summed, subgroup N counts may not match the "All Students" N count because of incomplete coding on some student answer sheets.
Data received from LEAs and charter schools after July 30, 2003 are not included in this table.

Notes: 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.
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 1st to
June 30th accountability year. Algebra I was first scaled in 1993-94; U.S. History, English I, Biology in 1994-95; Physical Science in 1995-96; and ELPS in 1996-97. Bold vertical lines between years indicate that the scores
changed from mean raw core scores to mean scale scores and 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-coures 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.
Data received from LEAs and charter schools after August 27, 2003 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.
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.
