These calculations are based on all tested students. Accountability decisions are based on continuously enrolled students. |
Student Confidentiality/Suppressed Data: To ensure student confidentiality, the Department does not publish data for groups with fewer than five students or data that would allow readers to easily determine the performance of a group with fewer than five students. When fewer than five students in a group are tested, percentages of tested students scoring at various levels are suppressed for that group and for the next smallest group, as indicated by an (S). However, the performance of tested students in these groups is aggregated and shown in the Small Group Total row.
