Data table
| Series | 2019 | 2021 | 2022 | 2023 | 2024 | 2025 | 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ELA | 51.9% | 68.2% | 70% | 54.5% | 65.4% | 63.6% | 69.1% |
| Math | 9.8% | 5.9% | ≤5% | ≤5% | 19.4% | 5.6% | 17.8% |
| Science | 30.9% | 59.4% | 40.4% | 38.1% | 52.7% | 57.6% | — |
Testing paused in 2020. A dashed line in a shaded band means the exact value is suppressed for privacy — it is ≤5%. Science scoring changed twice (2019 pre-MCAP scale; 2021 three bands, two pooled administrations; four bands from 2022), so science points before 2022 aren't comparable to later ones. Science swung sharply statewide between 2023 and 2026 (down, then back up, one grade at a time); those moves likely reflect the state assessment, not school-level change. High-school science isn’t published for 2026 yet. 2019 math reflects the larger PARCC-era Algebra 1 testing population and isn't comparable to later years.
Class size
