These numbers are the students in grade 9 or grade 10 who took the Utah Aspire Plus test at their school. Utah publishes each group's results as shares, not counts, so the number tested is worked out from the shares and is approximate. Groups under 40 students are shown only as ranges and are left out.

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 a Grade 9 Math 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.
