Geography achievement-level results by student eligibility for the Free/Reduced-Price School Lunch program, grades 4, 8, and 12 (public and nonpublic schools combined): 2001

How to Read This Figure
	The percentages shown to the right of the shaded bars represent the percentages of students at or above Basic and Proficient.
	The percentages shown within the shaded bars represent the percentages of students within each achievement level (where the bar is too small, the percentage within the achievement level is presented, in parentheses, to the left of the bar).

# Percentage is between 0.0 and 0.5.
NOTE: NAEP reports assessment results in terms of student performance standards called "achievement levels," which are set by the National Assessment Governing Board (NAGB). The three levels for each grade are Basic, Proficient, and Advanced. See more information about the geography achievement levels.
Percentages within each geography achievement-level range may not add to 100, or to the exact percentages at or above achievement levels, due to rounding.
Results are based on administration procedures that did not permit accommodations.
