ACSD Academic Achievement 2003-2004
The following charts show the percent of Atlantic students proficient in reading, math, and science using the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills(ITBS) and the Iowa Tests of Educational Development(ITED). These proficiencies are compared to the Iowa reading and math trajectories established for proficiency for No Child Left Behind(NCLB). For a student to be considered proficient, the student must score above the 40thpercentile(NPR) on these standardized achievement tests.
