These numbers are the Wyoming public school students in grades 9 and 10 tested on WY-TOPP in ELA and math, by the school where they tested. Wyoming publishes each school's level percentages and a range for the number tested; the exact number is worked out from the percentages. Schools with fewer than about 10 students are hidden, and the district, county and statewide figures add up the schools shown.

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 ELA score into an estimated percentile versus the school, district, county and the whole state, so you can see where a score stands, not just its level.
