On Connecticut's NGSS Science assessment, Grade 11 Science is reported on a scale from 1000 to 1199 (2019 and 2022 to 2026), and each score falls into one of 4 performance levels. Reaching Met, at 1099 or above, is the state's proficiency line.

|---|---|---|---|
| Not Met | 1000–1072 | The lowest level, well below the state standard | 21% |
| Approaching | 1073–1098 | Approaching the state standard | 28% |
| Met | 1099–1140 | Meeting the state standard (the proficiency line) | 37% |
| Exceeded | 1141–1199 | The highest level, above the state standard | 13% |
Statewide in 2026, about 50% of the students counted for Grade 11 Science reached Met or Exceeded. The bar above shows the share at each level (left = lowest).
These numbers are the grade 11 students who took the Connecticut School Day SAT or the grade 11 NGSS Science test at their public school. SAT scores from weekend administrations are not included, nor are students who take Connecticut's alternate tests or are medically exempt (and, for the SAT, English learners in their first two years in U.S. schools). Connecticut hides counts of 5 or fewer students; those levels, and the few large schools Connecticut hides to protect a small program in the same district, are estimated from the school's average score and the district's published counts.

A score's meaning depends on where it lands in the ranges above, and on how it compares to other students who took the same test. Our free tool turns a Grade 11 Science score into an estimated percentile versus the school, district and the whole state, so you can see where a score stands, not just its level.
