Understanding the Global Report Card (GRC)
The GRC score indicates the level of math or reading achievement by the average student in a district when compared to the achievement in a set of 25 developed countries. The score is presented as a percentile, which is the percentage of students in the comparison group who would have a lower level of achievement. For example, a percentile of 60 would mean that the average student in a district would be performing better than 60% of the students in the comparison group.
