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.

Enrollment of Racial/Ethnic Groups The composition of a district's student body is an important contextual factor because of the need to reduce achievement gaps between student groups.

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.
