| – Not available. Maine was not included in the study because the state administered an interim assessment in 2021-22. Eleven additional states were not included in grade 8 mathematics because their assessment data files had end-of-grade assessment results mixed with other assessment results, and the student participation rate for the end-of-grade assessment was less than 95%. Puerto Rico was not included in the reading analysis because the NAEP reading assessment was not administered in the jurisdiction. | ||||||||
