This graph shows three data columns for the “% at or above basic” scoring students of the Louisiana Educational Assessment Program for the 21st Century (LEAP-21) for each year. The first column is the score for Lafayette Alternative Program For Students, the second is the district average, and the third is the state average.
The Louisiana Educational Assessment Program for the 21st Century (LEAP 21) and the Graduation Exit Examination for the 21st Century (GEE 21) constitute Louisiana’s criterion-referenced testing (CRT) program. These tests measure how well a student has mastered the state content standards. The LEAP 21 is administered at grades 4 and 8 and the GEE 21 to initial testers at grades 10 and 11.There are three main differences between the LEAP 21 and GEE 21 and previous state CRT tests. First, these tests are directly aligned with the state’s content standards. Second, by law these tests must be as rigorous as those of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). And third, students no longer receive a simple pass/fail score; instead, they receive one of the following five achievement ratings:Advanced: A student at this level has demonstrated superior performance beyond the proficient level of mastery.Mastery: A student at this level has demonstrated competency over challenging subject matter and is well prepared for the next level of schooling. Basic: A student at this level has demonstrated only the fundamental knowledge and skills needed for the next level of schooling.Approaching Basic:A student at this level has only partially demonstrated the fundamental knowledge and skills needed for the next level of schooling.Unsatisfactory: A student at this level has not demonstrated the fundamental knowledge and skills needed for the next level of schooling.Source: What's LEAP? -- Louisiana Dept of Education
