All students at the grade level receive the same topic. For 1999-2000 students at grade eight were assigned an informative topic. Informative writing presents information about a topic, supported by relevant details. Percents provided in the table below are based on the number of students enrolled. Student counts and unrounded percentage scores are also available for download in Microsoft Excel format.
Omitted scores indicate no response was given.
They are not scored as zero. A score of zero is given for responses that are illegible, off topic, primarily in another language, or if the writing sample is of insufficient length for evaluation.
