Assessment Proficiency

ED recommends users of the SY 2020-21 Assessment Data review the data notes and state explanations to understand the full context of state, local, and school implementation of the statewide assessments. Due to the circumstances created by the COVID-19 pandemic, ED waived the reporting of the statewide assessments in the 2019-2020 school year and encouraged states to consider flexibilities regarding the timing, length, and type of administration of assessments in the 2020-2021 school year. Please be sure to review ED’s letter regarding assessments for 2020-21. Statewide assessments were administered in most States in 2020-21 but, due to continued disruptions from the pandemic, rates of participation varied widely in schools throughout the country. Because assessment participation varied so widely, overall results for schools, districts and States may not be representative for those entities, and data for the school year 2020-2021 data may not be comparable with other years.

Beginning in SY 2020-21, the Achievement data files will be released solely in long format. In prior school years, the Achievement data files are released in wide format. See the file documentation for instructions on converting the files from long format to wide.

Beginning in SY 2020-21, Achievement results are no longer submitted to ED by performance level but by proficiency status. The Performance Level Mapping will be discontinued.

Note that SY 2019-20 assessment reporting requirements have been suspended due to COVID-19; therefore, no Achievement data will be collected for SY 2019-20.

The SY 2018-19 release of the Achievement results will be a transitional year with data files released in both wide and long format.

Beginning in SY 2015-16, the Performance Level Mapping tables will be available as a separate Excel spreadsheet. In prior school years, the mapping tables are included as an appendix in the file documentation.
