Missouri American History: what a high-school score means

On Missouri's MAP end-of-course (EOC) assessments, American History is reported on a scale from 325 to 470 (2021 to 2025), and each score falls into one of 4 performance levels. Reaching Proficient, at 400 or above, is the state's proficiency line.

Who takes this test

Is a particular score good?

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 American History 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.
