Who takes these tests

Each course test is taken by the students in that course that year, so each test has its own group. Middle-school students who take a high-school course early, mostly Algebra I, take its end-of-course test and are counted here at their middle school (11% of Algebra I testers in 2026). Tennessee hides the level split of many schools with a very small or very large share in one level; for those schools the split between the two lower and the two upper levels is estimated (see the methodology page). Schools with fewer than 10 testers are not shown.
