| —Not available. † Not applicable. 1 The basic level denotes partial mastery of prerequisite knowledge and skills that are fundamental for proficient work at the 4th-grade level. 2 This level represents solid academic mastery for 4th-graders. Students reaching this level have demonstrated 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. 3 This level signifies superior performance. 4 Percentage of students who report spending 30 minutes, 45 minutes, 1 hour, and over 1 hour on mathematics homework each day. 5 Based on a nationally representative sample. Forty-three jurisdictions (states, the District of Columbia, and Department of Defense schools) participated in the 2000 State Assessment of 4th-graders and met student and school participation criteria for reporting results. Fifty-three jurisdictions participated in the 2003 and 2005 state assessments and met student and school participation criteria for reporting results. 6 Did not meet one or more of the guidelines for school sample participation rates in 2000. Data are subject to appreciable nonresponse bias. 7 The definition of the nationally representative sample changed in 2005; it now includes all of the Department of Defense schools. NOTE: Excludes students unable to be tested due to limited proficiency in English or due to a disability. Data for 2000, 2003, and 2005 are for situations where student accommodations for the testing were permitted. Scale ranges from 0 to 500. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding. Standard errors appear in parentheses.
