NOTE: NAEP mathematics cut scores at grade 8 are 262 for Basic and 299 for Proficient. The following states' grade 8 mathematics test data were not used in the analysis or received special treatment: ME, MT, and VA—discrepancies exist between the state assessment data and the state document; CA, KS, MN, NV, and WA—data not available in the state assessment file; AL, NH, RI, SD, UT, and VT—state assessment data not available. NE—state results were based on assessments developed by each local education agency. For more information about missing states and exclusion rates in each state, see A Profile of State Assessment Standards.
