• Only the scores for reading and math in grades 2 through 10, writing in grades 3 though 10, and science in grades 8 and 11 are displayed on GreatSchools profiles.
• The DSTP is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Delaware.
• The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
