What is percent proficient on the Assessment Series?

Percent Proficient is the percentage of students scoring On Grade Level and Above Grade Level within a class, school, or district. For example, if 20 students in a class have taken an Assessment Series test, with 7 of those students On Grade Level and 3 Above Grade Level, the Percent Proficient for that class would be 50%.

Students that are in the On Grade Level or Above Grade Level groups have demonstrated proficiency on end-of-grade-level reading comprehension expectations as measured by the Assessment Series. Because performance groups on the Assessment Series are based on end-of-grade-level expectations, it is common for many students to not demonstrate proficiency at the beginning of the school year. 

Percent proficient data can be useful for looking at patterns across classes, schools, or districts.
