Each school's scores represent the share of students who rated "advanced," the highest of three performance levels, on state tests of reading and math in grades 3 to 5.

The Maryland School Assessment and Virginia Standards of Learning exams are used to measure student proficiency under No Child Left Behind. Educators caution against comparing scores between states, because the tests are written and scored differently.
