— Not available. † Not applicable. # Rounds to zero. 1 Scale ranges from 0 to 500. 2 Basic denotes partial mastery of prerequisite knowledge and skills that are fundamental for proficient work at the 4th-grade level. 3 Proficient represents solid academic performance for 4th-graders. Students reaching this level have demonstrated competency over challenging subject matter. 4 Advanced signifies superior performance. 5 Percentage of students who report spending 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour, and over 1 hour on mathematics homework each day. 6 Based on a nationally representative sample. Forty-three jurisdictions (states, the District of Columbia, and Department of Defense schools) participated in the 2000 State Assessment of 4th-graders and met student and school participation criteria for reporting results. Fifty-three jurisdictions participated in the 2003 and 2005 state assessments and met student and school participation criteria for reporting results. 7 Did not meet one or more of the guidelines for school participation in 2000. Data are subject to appreciable nonresponse bias. 8 The definition of the nationally representative sample changed in 2005; it now includes all of the Department of Defense schools. 9 Because of modifications to the 2005 Puerto Rico administration, results from 2003 should not be compared to results from 2005. Although parallel changes were not made in the nation in 2005, within-year comparisons between Puerto Rico and the nation are valid. NOTE: Excludes students unable to be tested due to limited proficiency in English or due to a disability. Data for 2000, 2003, and 2005 include students for whom accommodations were permitted. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. Standard errors appear in parentheses.
