What this means
“About 7 in 10” means 7 of every 10 Washington elementary schools have a lower number. The band is the middle half of schools and the line is the median (the school in the middle), which is not the state average. These describe who a school serves, not how good it is. What do these numbers mean?
Reading these numbers: test results are the share of tested students who met the state standard; growth is the median student growth percentile (50 = typical); low-income means eligible for free or reduced-price meals. Results describe students as a group, so visit and talk to families too. What do these numbers mean?
