| Level 3 | 1060–1072 | Meeting grade-level expectations (the state proficiency line) |
| Level 4 | 1073–1117 | The highest level, above grade-level expectations |

A score's meaning depends on where it lands in the ranges above, and on how it compares to other students. Our free tool turns a score into an estimated percentile versus the child's school, district and the whole state, so you can see exactly where a score stands, not just its level.
