Average Scale Score

  • In 2007, Idaho fourth graders had a mathematics average scale score (241) that was higher than the nation (239).

  • In 2007, Idaho fourth graders scored higher than the national average in two mathematics strands (numbers, and measurement), but was not different from the nation in three strands (geometry, algebra, and data analysis & statistics.

  • In 2007, Idaho eighth graders had a mathematics average scale score (284) that was higher than the nation (280).

  • In 2005, Idaho eighth graders scored higher than the nation in four mathematics strands (numbers, measurement, geometri, and data analysis & statistics), but was not different from the nation in one strand (algebra & functions).

Achievement Levels in Mathematics, Idaho, 1990 thru 2007

In 2007, Idaho fourth graders retreated a little from their outstanding performance on the 2005 mathematics test. Even so, their 2007 mathematics performance was an improvement over that of 2003.  In 2007, 85% of Idaho's fourth graders either met or exceeded grade-level expectations.

In 2007, Idaho eighth graders continued the state trend of increasing the percentage of students meeting or exceeding grade-level expectations (i.e., increasing the percentage of students scoring at or above Basic on NAEP). In 2007, 75% of Idaho's eighth graders either met or exceeded grade-level expectations.
