State Testing

Performance Level Descriptors

Performance Level Descriptors give teachers, parents/guardians and students more information about a student’s strengths and areas for improvement after taking our state assessments. Performance Level Descriptors are broken down by grade and by the score levels students can earn: Basic (Level 2), Proficient (Level 3) and Advanced (Level 4). There are no descriptors for Below Basic (Level 1).

Committees of Washington state teachers, parents, community members and business representatives determined the Performance Level Descriptors during the standard setting processes.
