Note that this graph can be filtered by achievement level, school system, year, subject, and grade. The school system filter allows comparison to schools in other districts in Georgia. Middle school math results include results from students who take algebra in 8th grade instead of the 8th grade math exam.

The next graph uses the year filter to show longer-term change in percentage developing and above, from 2015 to 2019. Scroll down through the graph to see that several schools have made large changes during that time. The largest increase is Gideons, which increased the percentage of students scoring developing and above in math by 34 percentage points, from 39% to 73%.

The last graph shows change in percentage distinguished from 2015-2019 for high school geometry. For reference, the average SAT math score in 2018 for APS students who previously scored distinguished on the geometry Milestones was 625¹.
