| – Not available. New Hampshire was not included in the study because the state did not use the same assessment for all students in grades 4 and 8 for reading and mathematics. Puerto Rico was not included in the reading analyses because NAEP reading assessments were not administered in the jurisdiction. West Virginia was not included in grades 4 and 8 reading because reading data were not available. States that did not require all eligible students to take a general grade 8 reading or mathematics assessment were not included in the analysis. | ||||||||
| NOTE: Percentages meeting state proficiency standards shown in this table are an aggregate of the school-level percentages of the schools in the NAEP sample used by the mapping procedure. | ||||||||
