The report card form is a document designed by the State Board of Education to reflect the minimum required content to be reported by school districts and provide districts with the necessary statewide data. The average scale score for a school at a grade level is the sum of the scores of the students tested in the school at that grade level divided by the number of students tested at that grade level in the school. For a district, the average score is determined by dividing the sum of scores for all students tested in the district at a grade level by the number of students tested in the district at that grade level. Score bands may be used to compare scores. The school report card also contains information not specifically required in the legislation.
