The OSTP categorizes student performance into these four levels to indicate their mastery of the standards, with "Advanced" being the highest level.
"Proficient" indicates that a student has met grade-level expectations and demonstrates the required knowledge and skills.
Students scoring at the "Below Basic" level demonstrate a limited grasp of the required knowledge and skills.
"Advanced" performance reflects a high level of mastery, often exceeding grade-level standards.
"Basic" indicates that while the student has some understanding of the material, they are not fully proficient and might require extra help.
