This graph shows three data columns for the “% proficient” scoring students of the New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP) for each year. The first column is the score for Newton Elementary School the second is the district average (if supplied), and the third is the state average. Each bar represents the total percentage of proficient students, but the bar is also divided to represent the students who scored at a level designated as "proficient with distinction".NOTE: Vermont does not break out their scores by grades. The numbers posted are averages across all grades in Newton Elementary School.
The NECAP reading, writing, mathematics and science tests measure students’ academic knowledge and skills relative to Grade Expectations which were developed by teams of teachers from Vermont, Rhode Island and New Hampshire. Grade Expectations represent the knowledge and skills that students should have achieved by the end of the previous school year (reading and math) or at the end of a specific grade span (writing and science). Reading and math are assessed in grades 3-8 and 11, writing is assessed in grades 5, 8 and 11, and science is assessed in grades 4, 8 and 11. The reading, math and writing tests are administered each year in October. The science tests are administered in May.Source: State of Vermont Deptartment of Education
