Percent for "Not Exceptional" through "Other Exceptional Classifications" is based on the sum of the students in those categories. Percent for
"Temporary Disability", "Limited English Proficient" and "Section 504" are based on the number tested in the "All Students" category.
2
"Mean Total" is the mean scale score in reading and mathematics combined.
The "All Students" and "Not Exceptional" categories are added for the purpose of comparison.
All data rounded to the nearest tenth, therefore exceptional categories may not sum to 100%.
