| †Not applicable. | ||||||||||
| ‡Reporting standards not met (too few cases for a reliable estimate). | ||||||||||
| 1 Includes basic mathematics, general mathematics, applied mathematics, occupational mathematics, pre-algebra, and algebra I. | ||||||||||
| 2 Includes courses that taught both algebra II and trigonometry. | ||||||||||
| 3 Includes courses generally taken after algebra II but before calculus. Such courses include trigonometry (as a separate course), precalculus, third-year algebra, elementary functions and analysis, probability and statistics, discrete mathematics, and finite mathematics. | ||||||||||
| 4 SD estimates include both students with an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) and students with a plan under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (a "504 plan"). IEPs are only for students who require specialized instruction, whereas 504 plans apply to students who require accommodations but may not require specialized instruction. | ||||||||||
| 5 Includes students who were formerly English learners. | ||||||||||
| NOTE: Completion of a mathematics course means that the graduate earned credits in a mathematics course within the category. It differs from graduates who took a course but did not pass or complete the course. The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) mathematics assessment scale score ranges from 0 to 300. For a high school graduate to be included in the analyses, their transcript had to meet five requirements: (1) the graduate received either a standard or honors diploma, (2) the transcript had three or more years of delineated courses, (3) at least one course on the transcript was taken during the NAEP and HSTS assessment year, (4) the graduate’s transcript contained 16 or more Carnegie credits, and (5) the graduate’s transcript contained at least 1 Carnegie credit in English courses. Race categories exclude persons of Hispanic ethnicity. | ||||||||||
