Each Nevada high-school test (Grade 11 ACT ELA, Grade 11 ACT Math and High School Science) is scored on its own scale and sorted into performance levels. Pick a test to see the score range for every level, year by year, plus how students scored statewide.
Look up a high-school percentile →Each test's newest score scale and proficiency line, and every year we have.
| Test | Score scale | The proficiency line | Years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 11 ACT ELA | 2–36 | Level 3 from 17 | 2018, 2019 and 2021 to 2026 |
| Grade 11 ACT Math | 1–36 | Level 3 from 20 | 2018, 2019 and 2021 to 2026 |
| High School Science | 100–750 | Proficient from 450 | 2018, 2019 and 2021 to 2026 |
These numbers are the Nevada public school students who took each test at their school: the ACT that every Nevada junior takes in grade 11, and the Nevada High School Science test, which each student takes once, most in grade 9 and the rest in grade 10 (so a school's science numbers cover everyone who took it there that spring). Students who took Nevada's alternate assessment are not included. Nevada does not publish results for very small groups, so a few small schools are missing. A student needs the ACT writing test to get an ACT ELA score, so slightly fewer students have an ELA score than a math score.
