The Average Grade Equivalent is a score that describes where the average (50%ile) student in a particular grade scores. For example, our 8th graders, had an average score where the average student beginning 12th grade scores.
The School to School Percentile compares the classes in our school to the classes in other schools. Thus, in 6th grade, for example, only 2% of all schools in the nation scored higher than the 6th grade class at Immanuel.
The School to School Average of all grades for the subject area is as follows. All scores are in Percentile.
