- The next project to appear on this website will be a statewide data display of English Language Arts and Mathematics
from the Idaho Standards Achievement Tests for grades 3 through 8 from 2019 through 2026. The focus is on five students:
high performing student (90th percentile), high average student (75th), average student for grade (50th), low average students (25th),
and low performing student (10th). One chart will show the progress of each group from 2019-2026. A second chart will show the
change in percentiles from 2019 and 2026. (Click here to see a draft of the 8th grade charts for English Language Arts.
The target for completion of the project is the end of September.
