NOTE: Some apparent differences between estimates may not be statistically significant. Achievement levels define what students should know and be able to do: Basic indicates partial mastery of fundamental skills, Proficient indicates demonstrated competency over challenging subject matter, and Advanced indicates superior performance. The percentage of students at or above Proficient includes students at the Proficient and the Advanced achievement levels. Similarly, the percentage of students at or above Basic includes students at the Basic, Proficient, and Advanced achievement levels.
