Note: A dash (—) indicates data were not available or, in U.S. row, that a total was not appropriate. States are ranked by number grade to the nearest decimal; ties are ranked alphabetically. For this section, ES=elementary school, MS=middle school, and HS=high school. G = Graded; U = Ungraded. ¹Custom-developed/criterion-referenced tests (CRTs) are explicitly designed to measure state content standards. Off-the-shelf/norm-referenced tests (NRTs) are commercially developed tests that have not been modified to reflect state content standards. Augmented/hybrid tests incorporate elements of both NRTs and CRTs explicitly designed to measure state content standards (including NRTs that have been augmented or modified to reflect state standards).
