Parents should pay attention to the substantial differences among grade levels. Mathematics results were weaker in 4th, 5th, and 8th grades, while 8th-grade reading was notably low at 42%, compared with 75% in 7th grade. Science is the clearest area for improvement: proficiency was 35%, below the 38% state average, and declined 14 percentage points from the prior year.
