On Arizona's Academic Standards Assessment (AASA), AzSCI and AIMS Science, Grade 4 Science is reported on a scale from 200 to 800, and each score falls into one of 4 performance levels. Reaching Meets the Standard (at 500 or above) is the state's grade-level, on-track benchmark.
| Level | Score range | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Falls Far Below the Standard | 200–461 | The lowest level, well below grade-level expectations |
| Approaches the Standard | 462–499 | Approaching grade-level expectations |
| Meets the Standard | 500–546 | Meeting grade-level expectations (the state proficiency line) |
| Exceeds the Standard | 547–800 | The highest level, above grade-level expectations |
Statewide in 2019, about 60% of Grade 4 students reached Meets the Standard or Exceeds the Standard in Science. The bar above shows the share at each level (left = lowest).
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.
