Each state sets its own test and its own bar for “proficient”, so results compare only within a state. Results also follow family income closely: a school's share reflects its students' circumstances as much as its teaching.

More information about these assessments over time, including participation and test changes, is available from the Education Data Center.

Money

Current spending pays for staff, services and supplies; buildings and debt are counted apart. It follows local costs and needs (special education, long bus routes), so it is a comparison, not a grade.

The Census Bureau publishes no finances for this agency.
