1 Nonpublic school sample includes only private schools, including Catholic schools. 2 The "Weighted average item score" of polytomous items are standardized to have a scale of 0 to 1 so they are comparable to dichotomously scored items. 3 The "Weighted proportion of students attempting last item" is equal to 1 - (Percent not responding to last item / 100). NOTE: Item statistics in this table are described on the page Blocks of Items. In 2014, grades 4 and 12 were not assessed.
