In our district, clearly there were fewer that "met or exceeded" standards than prior years, but overall, I'm pretty disappointed by the lack of interpretation (for all of the "hype" about this test) - offering 5 levels of performance is not really very informative...especially considering how long it took for these results to come out. Cannot make heads or tails out of what the scaled scores might mean, other than seeing what level they are in. In sum, a great deal of testing time for virtually no new information.
