The tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Kansas.
The different student groups are identified by the Kansas State Department of Education. If there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.
The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
