Missing values indicate a test was not available in a given year.

Scores shown are averages based on the performance of graduating seniors in each of the years shown.  Averages typically do not equal 500 because each year's scores are based on a cumulative reference group made up of the previous six years' graduates. The composition and performance of the reference groups differ somewhat from year to year.

Beginning with 2018-19, standard deviations are included in parentheses.

*The 2019-20 averages include only tests taken between June 1 and December 31, 2019 because of disruptions in testing and shifts to unsupervised testing due to COVID-19. Missing values are due to insufficient sample size.
