On Louisiana's LEAP 2025 high school tests, English II is reported on a scale from 650 to 850 (2018, 2019 and 2021 to 2026), and each score falls into one of 5 performance levels. Reaching Mastery, at 750 or above, is the state's proficiency line.
| Level | Score range | What it means | Statewide 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Unsatisfactory | 650–699 | The lowest level, well below the state standard | 16% |
| Approaching Basic | 700–724 | Partway toward the state standard | 17% |
| Basic | 725–749 | Approaching the state standard | 19% |
| Mastery | 750–793 | Meeting the state standard (the proficiency line) | 31% |
| Advanced | 794–850 | The highest level, above the state standard | 17% |
Statewide in 2026, about 48% of the students counted for English II reached Mastery or Advanced. The bar above shows the share at each level (left = lowest).
These numbers are the students who took this end-of-course test during the school year, in the fall and spring testing windows together. Louisiana publishes each group's results as whole percentages, not counts. Middle-school students who take a high-school course test early (most often Algebra I or English I) are included, counted at their middle school.

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 an English II score into an estimated percentile versus the school, school system and the whole state, so you can see where a score stands, not just its level.
