†Not applicable.
‡Reporting standards not met. Participation rates fell below the required standards for reporting.
1Accommodations were not permitted for this assessment.
2The 1996 data in this table do not include students who were tested with accommodations. Data for students tested with accommodations are not available at the state level for 1996.
3Did not meet one or more of the guidelines for school participation. Data are subject to appreciable nonresponse bias.
4Prior to 2005, NAEP divided the DoDEA schools into two jurisdictions, domestic and overseas. In 2005, NAEP began combining the domestic and overseas schools into a single jurisdiction. Data shown in this table for years prior to 2005 were recalculated for comparability.
NOTE: Scale ranges from 0 to 500. State-level data for 1990 are not available. Table does not include private schools, Bureau of Indian Education schools, or (except in the penultimate row) DoDEA schools. For 2000 and later years, includes public school students who were tested with accommodations; excludes only those students with disabilities (SDs) and English learners (ELs) who were unable to be tested even with accommodations. SD and EL populations, accommodation rates, and exclusion rates vary from state to state.
