\1\As measured by the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). Forty-one states and Guam participated in the test, but the sample size in two states was
insufficient to permit a reliable estimate.
\2\Parents' highest level of education. Data not shown for students who did not know parents' level of education. \3\Sample size is insufficient to permit a reliable estimate. \4\Did not satisfy one or more of the guidelines for school sample participation rates. Data are subject to appreciable nonresponse bias. \5\The nature of the sample does not allow accurate determination of the variability of this value. NOTE. --These test scores are from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). The NAEP scores have been evaluated at certain performance levels. A score of 300 implies an ability to find, understand, summarize, and explain relatively complicated literary and informational material. A score of 250 implies an ability to search for specific information, interrelate ideas, and make generalizations about literature, science, and social studies materials. A score of 200 implies an ability to understand, combine ideas, and make inferences based on short uncomplicated passages about specific or sequentially related information. A score of 150 implies an ability to follow brief written directions and carry out simple, discrete reading tasks. Scale ranges from 0 to 500. Excludes states not participating in the survey. Standard errors appear in parentheses.
