Students who passed either met or exceeded expectations are considered prepared for the next grade level, college or work. Students who failed either partially met, approached or did not meet expectations.

The achievement gap is larger for English language arts scores and smaller for math scores.

There is a 9.5-point gap between black and hispanic students' English language arts scores in 2018 – a 5.2 point improvement since 2017. In 2018, 0 percent of black students passed the reading subject test. Meanwhile, 9.5 percent of hispanic students passed.
