| 2 Results for 2015 are shown because a NAEP Mathematics Assessment was not conducted at grade 12 in 2017. More detailed breakouts of school locale are not available at grade 12. | ||||||||||
| NOTE: For the grade 4 and grade 8 assessments, the scale ranges from 0 to 500. For the grade 12 assessment, the scale ranges from 0 to 300. Includes public, private, Bureau of Indian Education, and Department of Defense Education Activity schools. Includes students tested with accommodations (9 to 12 percent of all students, depending on grade); excludes only those students with disabilities and English language learners who were unable to be tested even with accommodations (2 percent of all students at all grades). | ||||||||||
