Mississippi English II: what a high-school score means

On Mississippi's MAAP end-of-course tests, English II is reported on a scale from 1001 to 1099 (2018, 2019 and 2021 to 2026), and each score falls into one of 5 performance levels. Reaching Passing, at 1050 or above, is the state's passing score.

Who takes this test

These numbers are the Mississippi public school students who took each end-of-course test that year: English II, Algebra I, Biology and US History are taken at the end of the course, whatever the student's grade, so a percentile compares a score with that year's students in the course. Algebra I includes middle-school students who took the course early. Mississippi does not publish results for very small groups, so some small schools are missing.

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 English II 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.
