Top to Bottom Ranking Schools are compared to other schools in the state by utilizing z-scores (a statistical measure that describes how far you are from the middle of the pack). Z-scores that are positive, show that you are above the 50th percentile when compared to the state. Z-scores that are negative, show that you are below the 50th percentile when compared to the state.

Z-scores (Standard Deviations) Z-scores are centered around zero or the “state average” Positive is ABOVE the state avg. Negative is BELOW the state avg. Top 1/3 > +0.5 Middle 1/3 Between -0.5 & 0.5 Bottom 1/3 < -0.5 State Average Z-score = Zero -3 -2 -1 1 2 3 -0.5 0.5 2% 16% 32% 50% 68% 84% 98% Percentile State Average Slide courtesy of Doug Greer, Ottawa ISD
