How to read these scores
What is CT Smarter Balanced?
CT Smarter Balanced is the statewide standardized test administered by Connecticut public schools.
What does "% Met or Exceeded Standard" mean?
It is the share of students at the school who performed at grade level or above on the test, summed across the top two of four performance levels. A higher number is better.
What does 68.9% mean for English Language Arts at Lebanon Middle School?
It means about 68.9 percent of students tested at Lebanon Middle School performed at grade level or above on the CT Smarter Balanced English Language Arts test in 2024-25. The statewide average for Connecticut that year was 50.5%. The other students fell into the lower performance levels.
How is the state average calculated?
It is a weighted average, not a simple average of each school's number. We multiply each public school's score by how many of its students tested, add those together for all schools in Connecticut, and divide by the total students tested that year. This way a big school with 1,500 students counts more than a small school with 50 students, which is the right way to ask "how did the typical student do this year?". District and county averages on this page use the same method, just scoped to that district or county.
Where does this data come from?
Connecticut State Department of Education, EdSight. Smarter Balanced (ELA + Math grades 3-8). School-level All-Grades-Combined All-Students subgroup from the EdSight SAS StoredProcess CSV export. Headline metric is the cumulative Level 3 + Level 4 rate ("Met or Exceeded Standard", top 2 of 4 SBAC levels).
How often is it updated?
CT Smarter Balanced is administered once a year (spring). Results are released by the state in the summer or early fall. We refresh this page after each annual release.
