How
Students Performed on State Reading and Math Tests
|
| These state test results show how
well students have mastered reading and math skills in
comparison to state standards. State test results alone
do not convey a complete picture of academic
achievement, and should be viewed with other performance
and demographic information. |

How
Students Performed on State Reading and Math Tests over
Time
|
| In addition to comparing student
performance on state tests to other comparison groups,
it is important to compare the district to itself over
time to understand the district's success in increasing
student achievement. |

entrance exams, so scores should always be viewed in

Spending
Summary
|
| Examining spending allocations can
help shed light on a district's priorities. Operating
expenditures represent funds used for the day-to-day
operations of districts, whereas instructional
expenditures represent the subset of funds spent only on
activities dealing directly with teaching and the
classroom. |
|
|
|
Adult
Education Levels
|
| When reviewing a district's
performance, it is also important to learn about the
surrounding community, as there is often a relationship
between a community's income and education levels and
student performance. |
