Connecticut Academic Performance Test
Notice
Notice: Summary numbers on this website are calculated using CAPT reporting rules. The summary numbers are not calculated using NCLB reporting rules. These calculation methods are different and often result in differences in school and district calculations.

Below are three of the primary reasons why they are different.

  1. Students who moved after October 1 are not included in the school or district performance calculations for AYP. However, these same students are included in CAPT school or district performance calculations.
  2. Skills Checklist students are counted in performance and participation calculations for AYP school or district calculations. However, these students are not included in the CAPT school or district performance calculations.
  3. Students who receive invalid scores on the CAPT are included in school and district AYP report calculations for performance and participation. However, these students are not included in the CAPT school or district performance calculations.
