Notes
2021 M-STEP: Use estimations with caution and do not compare to prior years. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, fewer students underwent testing compared to prior years, and many school districts had additional data suppressed. Students did not take the M-STEP in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. More detailed data for districts can be found at mischooldata.org.
Data for all years (2014-15 through 2024-25) was revised in June 2026. Any publication with these data written prior to June 2026 has outdated data.
Districts with fewer than ten students assessed are removed from the dataset for county and city estimates; the state count includes all students. In counties with small numbers of students, there may be a margin of error exceeding 5%.
NA: Not Available; S: Data Suppressed
