These numbers are the students in the grade shown (grade 10 for Reading and Mathematics, grade 11 for Science, Social Studies, On-Demand Writing and Editing and Mechanics) who have results on the Kentucky Summative Assessment at their school. Kentucky publishes each group's results as whole percentages, not counts, and leaves out any group too small to report.
