Can anyone tell what is meant by "percent" here? Is it the average of the total score on the test? Is is the percentage of proficient students? Are they averaging reading and math scores? Pretty unclear writing -- but maybe that's part of the spin.[/quote
Proficient usually means about 60%, which would translate into a D in most schools. 
So proficient in DC CAS may mean just average

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it's the percent of kids scoring either Proficient or Advanced.[/quote][/quote]
