The charts below allow for comparisons to be made between district science performance and the performance for the nation and large cities nationally.

  • In the Comparison to National Results tab below, performance for public school students in large cities and various districts is compared to the national averages. An up or down arrow for each student group indicates whether scores or percentages in the district were higher or lower than the national average.
  • In the Comparisons to Large City Results tab, an up or down arrow for each student group indicates whether scores or percentages in the district were higher or lower than the average score for public school students in large cities nationally.
  • In the tabs showing performance gaps, click on any "sort" button to rank districts numerically by the data in that column. Click on a jurisdiction to see how other jurisdictions compare in terms of statistical significance.
