\1\Achievement levels are in developmental status.
\2\Excludes students who responded ``I don't know'' to the question about educational level of parents. \3\ This level denotes partial mastery of prerequisite knowledge and skills that are fundamental for proficient work at the 4th grade. \4\This level represents solid academic mastery for 4th graders. Students reaching this level have demnostrated competency over challenging subject matter, including subject-matter knowledge, application of such knowledge to real-world situations, and analytical skills appropriate to the subject matter. \5\This level signifies superior performance. ---Data not available. NOTE.--These test scores are from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). Forty-seven states, the District of Columbia, and Guam participated in the 1996 Trial State Assessment of 4th graders. Scale ranges from 0 to 500. Results are not shown for states with a school participation rate of less than 70 percent. Standard errors appear in parentheses.
