2014-15 Readiness Results in Grades 8 and 10 Include Some Losses

2014-15 scores are now available for the Explore and Plan readiness assessments, showing an increase in 10th grade students meeting science and mathematics benchmarks compared to last year, but declines in reading and English for both grade 8 and grade 10 and a loss in mathematics for grade 8.  Grade 8 science results were unchanged from 2013-14. The graphs below show detail, and results for all schools and districts are available in the supplemental data section of the Department of Education's Open House portal under the Assessment link.  (2014-15 ACT readiness results for grade 11 have not yet been released.)
