What each level means: California's level descriptions.
All Grades is an aggregate, not another group of students. Same-year grade groups are not matched children. A grade the school doesn't teach has no row. “Suppressed” marks a result CDE blanks because fewer than 11 students tested (CDE’s reporting rule); “none tested” marks a grade CDE lists with no students tested; “not on file” marks a result missing from the records we hold. None of them means zero.
