Notes:
-
Results presented on this site are for All Students; we do
not break down the results for different racial/gender/economic groups.
-
DC Office of Educational Accountability does not distinguish between middle and high
schools. Both are listed as "Secondary" schools. For 2003-2005, Secondary schools are
listed, on this site, as middle or high schools according to the grade range. For 2006,
since grade ranges are not provided, each Secondary school is listed as both a middle
school and a high school.
-
Results are not reported for schools with less than 10 students.
-
In 2005 and before there were only two performance levels - proficient and not proficient. The percent proficient for 2005 should not be compared to the percent proficient and above for 2006 because performance standards and the tests for the two years are not statistically linked.
