Reporting Year:

This report displays the percent of students tested by content area. The Every Student Succeeds Act requires districts and schools to test at least 95 percent of all students and student groups in English language arts and mathematics. It also requires states to factor the participation rate into the Academic Indicator. If a district, school, or student group does not meet the 95% participation rate target, the Distance from Standard (DFS) value for the Academic Indicator is adjusted downward.
