What this means

Each year a different group of students takes the tests, so look for a direction that lasts several years, not one jump. No tests in 2019–20; the 2020–21 tests were shortened and are not shown. What do these numbers mean?

Reading these numbers: test results are the share of tested students who met the state standard; growth is the median student growth percentile (50 = typical); low-income means eligible for free or reduced-price meals. Results describe students as a group, so visit and talk to families too. What do these numbers mean?
