The shaded band is this school's normal range. If nothing about how it works changes, nearly every future year should land inside it. Zero means the typical student just meets the state standard. The small numbers under the years are how many students were tested.

Measured against the grade 4 bar

The state's English test uses one scale for every grade, so a score means the same thing in grade 3 as in grade 8.

Many students here are still learning English, and this test is given in English. In 2026, 203 of the 501 students who took the English Language Arts test were English learners.
