D.C. Comprehensive Assessment System 2010 test results

Here are pass rates on the D.C. Comprehensive Assessment System for D.C. public schools, under Chancellor Michelle A. Rhee, and for independently operated public charter schools. The results show the percentage of students who reached proficiency or better. The DC-CAS tests, given in April, are separate from federal testing that compares achievement among states and various cities. With certain exceptions, elementary results draw from grades 3 through 5, secondary results from grades 6 through 8, plus grade 10. D.C. public schools' results are in bold.
