Each spring, standardized exams in reading and math are given to students from third to eighth grades, with results informing instructional decisions and learning plans for the new academic year.
Statewide, 46% of K-8 students scored proficient or above in English last year, while 52% did so in math. For science, only 35% achieved the same.
The Education Department emphasized the importance of quickly providing performance information to improve instructional strategies and ensure student success.
The 2024 state exams marked a significant shift to the Next Generation Learning Standards, highlighting a broader move towards computer-based testing across the educational landscape.
