| ---Jurisdiction did not participate. NOTE: Excludes persons not enrolled in school and those who were unable to be tested due to limited proficiency in English or due to a disability. These test scores are from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). Fifty states, the District of Columbia, and two Department of Defense school systems participated in the 2003 State Assessment of 8th-graders and met student and school participation criteria for reporting results. Scale ranges from 0 to 500. Data for 2000 and 2003 are for situations where student accommodations were permitted. Detail may not sum to totals due to rounding. Standard errors appear in parentheses.
