On Arizona's Academic Standards Assessment (AASA), AzSCI and AIMS Science, Grade 5 Science is reported on a scale from 1200 to 1500, and each score falls into one of 4 performance levels. Reaching Proficient (at 1350 or above) is the state's grade-level, on-track benchmark.
| Level | Score range | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Minimally Proficient | 1200–1299 | The lowest level, well below grade-level expectations |
| Partially Proficient | 1300–1349 | Approaching grade-level expectations |
| Proficient | 1350–1394 | Meeting grade-level expectations (the state proficiency line) |
| Highly Proficient | 1395–1500 | The highest level, above grade-level expectations |
Statewide in 2025, about 34% of Grade 5 students reached Proficient or Highly Proficient 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.
