These numbers are the Vermont public school students in grade 9 tested in ELA and math, and in grade 11 tested in science, by the school where they tested: Smarter Balanced through 2022 and VTCAP from 2023 for ELA and math, the New England science test (NGSA) through 2022 and VTCAP science from 2023. Where Vermont hides a small school's results, the school is estimated from its supervisory union's or the state's results and its own grade enrollment.
