Footnotes: The Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program is designed primarily to help measure how well students are achieving the California content standards and to provide information about how well schools and school districts are meeting state and federal accountability requirements. The California Standards Test (CST) is one of the STAR Program's six components.

Low Number Event (LNE): Data not reported when fewer than 10 cases exist or when applicable % is based on fewer than 10 observations.

Note: Maps use the natural break classification method, which reflects patterns in the data by dividing the map into naturally occurring groups. Using statistical tools, this method determines cut-off points for each group by identifying large gaps in data values.
