It worries me a little that people are posting without making any effort to check their facts. 5 minutes on Google gets you to the answer. The following link is for 2011 and is on the OSSE website. Cut scores are set independently for math and reading, differ for each grade, are a single score, and are not tied to a percentage above/below as the goal is to have 100 percent of children proficient. See page 79 of this report.

| What did a student have to score to be advanced in the 2012 DC CAS? |

This. It worries me that in 21st century America, anyone who has been to college and is well spoken believes themselves entitled to have opinions about questions of fact. They believe that since something makes sense to them, it's as good as whatever the truth happens to be. This is a real problem. There are right and wrong answers --- not everybody gets to be right. Pp, instead of spending so much time composing your imaginings into an answer, spend it learning the real answer. |

| For those YY parents who swore that YY would have a great score this year, they're probably having eggs on their face now. Just say'in. |

| Did YY "lose" some tests this year. I thought there were more 4th grade students. Seems like some of the below basic testers vanished. |

what on earth are you talking about?
they did really well and showed improvement over the previous year in both areas. they beat out a lot of the more established schools!! and remember, those kids get only half the english that other kids get. love your gratuitous bashing--sheesh!! |

About 70% or less depending on the year and the grade level. Unless someone is scoring in the high 80 % or low 90%, I don't think it should be considered advanced. Same with proficient -- 57% is a failing score in most school systems. |

Wow! It's sad that a 'C' is advanced?!? |
