A student must have logged on to both the computer adaptive test (CAT) and performance task (PT) of each content area in order to be counted as participating. The Number of Students Tested is used in determining the participation rate.
Valid –The number of students with test results who have been continuously enrolled in the school, LEA, or student group for a content area (ELA and mathematics). Continuous enrollment is when a student is enrolled at the same school from October 2014 Fall Census Day to testing without a break in enrollment of more than 30 consecutive calendar days.
