School test scores vs US average by ZIP code

One dot for each public school, district or charter, with grade 3–8 math and reading results, coloured by its average score in grade levels above (+) or below (−) the US average, on the same colours as the School test scores layer. Each school is compared with the US average for the grades it tests, so elementary and middle schools compare fairly. Click or tap a dot for the school's card: its district, grades tested, learning growth, trend and number of tests. New York, Colorado, Oregon, Alaska, Arkansas and Maine have no comparable recent scores, so their schools show the 2009–19 average, drawn like the others; those six states are not directly comparable with the rest. Schools with fewer than 100 tests and high schools have no dot. Use Measure to switch to learning growth per school year (also one dot per school, for schools with a learning rate) or to the change in test scores since 2019 (school districts, ZIP codes, counties and hexagons only: the archive has no yearly figures for single schools). Use Shading to choose the average of nearby schools, attendance zones (New York City only so far, each zone in the colour of its zoned school) or areas.
