Achievement Levels

Achievement levels are predetermined performance standards that allow a student's performance to be compared to grade-level expectations. The column headings on the ISR outline each achievement level and the scale score range associated with each achievement level.

Four achievement levels (i.e., Not Proficient, Level 3, Level 4, and Level 5) are reported for EOG and EOC tests.

  • Not Proficient
    •  Students who are Not Proficient demonstrate inconsistent understanding of grade-level content standards and will need support.
  • Level 3
    • Students at Level 3 demonstrate sufficient understanding of grade-level content standards though some support may be needed to engage with content at the next grade/course.
  • Level 4
    • Students at Level 4 demonstrate a thorough understanding of grade-level content standards and are on track for career and college.
  • Level 5
    • Students at Level 5 demonstrate comprehensive understanding of grade-level content standards, are on track for career and college, and are prepared for advanced content at the grade/course.
