The tests have five performance levels - limited, basic, proficient, accelerated and advanced. The Performance Index score is calculated by multiplying the percentage of students at each performance level by weights ranging from 0 for untested to 1.2 for advanced students. The totals are then summed to obtain the school or district's Performance Index score. Performance Index scores range from 0 to 120, with 100 being the goal.
