Results:
The tables below present NPRs (National Percentile Ranks) in the Total Reading Score on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills, administered to third graders in the Cambridge city schools. The first table shows that the NPR tends to decrease as the proportion of students receiving free or reduced price lunch increases. The notable exception to these trends, however, is the only Core Knowledge school in the Cambridge system, Morse Elementary.

In the table above, the National Percentile Rank is based on the TOTAL READING score but the Proficiency Levels are based on the READING COMPREHENSION score. The number of students that completed all sections that make up the Total Reading score may differ slightly from the number of students that completed the Reading Comprehension sub-test.
