Reading: share of resident students meeting the standard — all towns
Students who live in each town and scored at Level 3 or 4 (“met” or “exceeded”) on the Smarter Balanced English language arts test, grades 3–8, —. Sorted lowest to highest; rank 1 is the lowest share, which describes the figure, not the town. Bars are shaded by quarter of the ranking.
Source: CSDE EdSight Resident Town Dashboard, “Percent Proficient SBAC ELA”, all students, by town of residence and school type, via the resident block of school_performance_page.json (cut from edsight/resident_town.json). A town's figure is the mean across its school types with a published value, weighted by resident enrollment in each; the table and tooltip name the school types behind every figure.
Math: share of resident students meeting the standard — all towns
The same measure for the Smarter Balanced mathematics test, grades 3–8, —.

The full table
Every town with a published figure, ranked on reading, with the math figure and its rank beside it and the school types each figure rests on.
How this ranking is made
Share proficient = resident students scoring Level 3 or 4 ÷ resident students tested, as the state publishes it for each town and school type (the town's own district, its regional district, magnets, charters, technical high schools and so on). The state publishes no single all-types figure per town, so this page computes one: the mean of the published school-type figures, weighted by each type's resident enrollment. For most towns a single school type holds more than 90% of resident students and the weighting changes nothing; every figure lists the types it rests on.
- Town of residence, not district. A student who lives in the town but attends a magnet, a charter or a regional district counts here under the town. A district's own report card, which counts the students it teaches, can differ.
- Suppression. The state withholds a figure for a school type with fewer than 20 tested resident students. Those students are left out of the town's mean, never counted as 0. A town with no published type at all is not ranked.
- Grades 3–8 only. High-school results are on the SAT page.
- Year. The latest school year in which the state has published a figure for at least 100 towns; the year is printed on each chart.
- Small towns move. A few dozen tested students means one year's cohort can shift a town by several points; do not read a one-year rank as a trend.
Scores track family circumstances closely. The results-vs-demographics page ranks districts on how far their results sit from what their demographics predict, and each town's own School Results page compares its district with fifteen districts serving similar students.
