APR Data
Performance
Student performance is reported in terms of four performance (or achievement) levels that describe a pathway to proficiency, and these achievement levels are outlined on the following pages. Each achievement level represents standards of performance for each assessed content area; achievement levels describe what students can do in terms of the content and skills on the assessment. Panels comprised of Missouri educators, school administrators, postsecondary faculty, and community business members determined the achievement level cut scores. These scores are a means of comparing test results with standards of academic performance. (DESE, 2020.)
