ranks are based on unrounded scale scores and do not take statistical significance into account. Lower numbers

indicate better rankings (i.e., a rank of 1 means that the state has the best performance of all states). Ranks are based

on states that have enough students in a particular group to report NAEP results. For example, in 2011, 47 states

reported fourth-grade reading results for Latino students.
