About Grade Levels and Quantile Measures
Quantile measures help educators and parents track student growth in mathematics over time, regardless of grade level. Within any classroom, students will have varying mathematical abilities.
Since growth is expected from one school year to the next, Quantile measures do not translate specifically to grade levels. Based on research studies conducted by MetaMetrics, this chart provides ranges for typical student performance at a particular grade or math course. The Quantile ranges at each grade level reflect the middle 50% of students based upon their performance on tests that report student Quantile measures. These Quantile measures do not imply grade level expectations.
