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 5 bar

The state's math 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. The math test is written in English, with some translation help, and many of its questions are word problems. In 2026, 102 of the 398 students who took the math test were English learners.
