Science Percent Proficient (WV)

 

 

4 Year Analysis of WV Science Data

The graph you sent appears to show the percentage of students proficient in science in grades 5, 8, and 11, across four assessment years. It likely depicts proficiency based on a standardized science assessment. Here are some observations about the data:

• Proficiency appears to decline across all grades between 2019 and 2021. There is a slight uptick in proficiency in 2022 and 2023 for some grades.
• Grade 5 shows the highest proficiency rates throughout the four years. In 2023, 33% of grade 5 students were proficient.
• Proficiency drops significantly between grade 5 and grade 8. In 2023, only 27% of grade 8 students were proficient.
• Proficiency remains relatively flat between grade 8 and 11. In 2023, 27% of grade 11 students were proficient.

It is important to consider that these are just a few data points and don't tell the whole story. There could be many reasons why proficiency might decline and then begin to recover.
