How to read this. California suppresses results for groups with too few students tested, and reports by grade rather than by school, so many schools fall below the threshold — 1,331 of California's schools have reportable Black student results, across 24 counties. Coverage is grades 3–8; high schools are not included. Because every state sets its own proficiency standard, California figures should not be compared against another state's.
