– Not available. Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada, and North Dakota were not included in the study due to data not being available. States that did not have a general end-of-grade reading/English language arts or general mathematics assessment in grade 8 that all students were required to take were not included in the analysis.
NOTE: Percent meeting state proficiency standards shown in this table are from state reports at the state level. They are not an aggregate of the school-level percentages of the schools in the NAEP sample used by the mapping procedure.
