All states were offered a waiver of this requirement for school year 2020-2021 due to the impact of COVID-19 .

The federal Every Student Succeeds Act ( ESSA) requires states to assess their learning standards for English/Language Arts ( ELA) , Math , and Science. Each state may also have a general assessment for the majority of its students , and an alternate assessment for the one percent of students with the most significant cognitive disabilities.

Each Performance Level is a broad , categorical level defined by a student’s overall scale score and used to report overall student performance by describing how well students met the expectations for their grade level/course. Each Performance Level is defined by a range of overall scale scores for the assessment. There are four Performance Levels for IAR assessments:  \n Level 1 : Below Proficient  \n Level 2 : Approaching Proficient  \n Level 3: Proficient  \n Level 4 : Above Proficient  \nStudents performing at levels 3 and 4 met or exceeded expectations , have demonstrated readiness for the next grade level/course and , ultimately, are on track for college and careers. Performance Level Descriptors describe the knowledge, skills , and practices that students should know and be able to demonstrate at each Performance Level in each content area and at each grade level/course.  \n* indicates non-reported data.‡ indicates suppressed data due to privacy concerns.
