## Academic performance[edit]

### Proficiency assessments[edit]

Each year, state and local education agencies use tests and other standards to assess student proficiency. Although the data below was published by the U.S. Department of Education, proficiency measurements are established by the states. As a result, proficiency levels are not comparable between different states and year-over-year proficiency levels within a district may not be comparable because states may change their proficiency measurements.[8]

#### Mathematics[edit]

The following table shows the percentage of district students who scored at or above the proficiency level each school year:[9]

School year  |  All (%)  |  Asian/Pacific
