If a student scores 239, which achievement level have they reached?

• A. Level 2
• B. Level 5
• C. Level 4 (Proficient)
• D. Level 3

Answer: (C)

Scores are grouped into achievement levels that show how well a student meets grade-level expectations. A score of 239 falls in the range designated for Level 4, which is labeled Proficient. This means you’ve demonstrated solid understanding of the sixth-grade math concepts and can solve standard problems with typical accuracy. Level 4 indicates you’re meeting the expected level of mastery for most topics. Level 5 would reflect stronger than expected performance, while Level 3 or Level 2 would indicate progressing toward or needing more support. So, 239 best fits Level 4 (Proficient).
