When analyzing assessment test results attention must be given not only to the overall results but to the results for students in the following subgroups:
    •    Economically disadvantaged
    •    Major racial and ethnic groups
    •    With disabilities as defined in section 9101(5) of ESEA
    •    With limited English proficiency as defined in section 9101 (25) of ESEA

To gauge a school's overall performance and to identify opportunities for improvement the following comparisons should be made.
    •    Within a district with multiple elementary and/or middle schools
    •    With schools in neighboring districts
    •    With the overall State level results

Thirdly a school should measure itself against the State's annual measurable objectives.
