 * Numbers and Operations**: 68% success rate on average. On assessment three, uncharacteristically low (25% - simplify like terms). Other assessments this standard has a success rate of 70-80%.
 * Measurement:** 50% success rate, but over 5 assessments has been up and down. 27% got a surface area question correct on Assessment 5, Volume on Assessment 3 28%. All other assessments - area, perimeter, circumference - are about 75% success rate.
 * Geometry:** An area of weakness. Overall success rate is 30%. Pythagorean Theorem (Assessment 1) had 42% of students answer correctly. Every other assessment has students getting correct answers between 20-30% of the time.
 * Algebraic Concepts:** 54% success rate, but this is by far our most consistent performance. All assessments have students getting this standard correct between 50 and 60 percent of the time. Lowest was 42% of students getting a slope question right on Assessment 1.
 * Data Analysis and Probability:** 35% success rate. Low performance across the board. Median and mean are questions students do "well" on (40% on Assessment 1, 62% on Assessment 3). All other questions have a 15-25% success rate.
