| ‡Reporting standards not met. Either there are too few cases for a reliable estimate or the coefficient of variation (CV) is 50 percent or greater. | ||||||||||
| 1 Nonresponse for this variable was greater than 15 percent but not greater than 50 percent. | ||||||||||
| 2 Results for 2015 are shown because a NAEP Mathematics Assessment was not conducted at grade 12 in 2019. 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 14 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 (1 to 2 percent of all students, depending on grade). | ||||||||||
