| 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||

| 6 Prior to 2005, NAEP divided the Department of Defense (DoD) schools into two jurisdictions, domestic and overseas. In 2005, NAEP began combining the DoD domestic and overseas schools into a single jurisdiction. Data shown in this table for years prior to 2005 were recalculated for comparability. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
| 7 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: With the exception of 1992, includes students for whom accommodations were permitted. Excludes students unable to be tested (even with accommodations) due to limited proficiency in English or due to a disability. Some data have been revised from previously published figures. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. Standard errors appear in parentheses. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
