\1\Parents' highest level of education.
\2\Indicates ability to perform simple additive reasoning and problem solving. \3\Indicates ability to perform simple multiplicative reasoning and 2-step problem solving. --- Sample size insufficient to permit reliable estimate. There were fewer than 62 students. NOTE.--These test scores are from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). Forty-one states, the District of Columbia, and Guam participated in the 1992 Trial State Assessment of 4th graders. Scale ranges from 0 to 500.
