NOTE: Scale score ranges from 0 to 500. The mathematics data include students for whom accommodations were permitted. For a discussion of the mathematics scale score and achievement level definitions, see http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/mathematics/scale.asp and http://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/mathematics/achieve.asp. National and state data presented in this table represent American Indian/Alaska Native students only. Estimates include students who attended BIE and other public schools. Therefore, estimates presented here differ from those presented in table 4.3a, where private schools were included.
