Many Alabama schools performed better on state tests than last year, a new round of results show, but some student groups and some districts and schools are still struggling to get their footing. Look up your school district's testing:
with one exception: third grade ELA which dropped by one percentage point from 55% to 54% proficiency.
Mackey said he was “pretty excited” about the ELA scores. “Math,” he said, “we did not see as much growth. Obviously we’re more concerned about where we are with math proficiency.” The ACAP portions students into four levels: level 1 is below grade level, level 2 is “low grade level,” level 3 is proficient and level 4 means a student has mastered the academic standards. Students reaching levels 3 and 4 are deemed “proficient” in reporting.
Students in grades two through eight take the Alabama Comprehensive Assessment Program summative test or ACAP summative, in math and English language arts. Students in fourth, sixth and eighth grade are also tested in science.
