* Note: The Above Proficient standard in grade 3 Mathematics was reset in 2007 to better discriminate student performance in the top reporting category. Therefore, comparisons should not be made between the percent Above Proficient in 2006 and 2007. However, comparisons may be drawn between the combined percent of students scoring Proficient and Above Proficient in 2006 and 2007.
