   • BM = Benchmark
   • PM/M* = Progress Monitoring
   • SLA = Survey Level Assessments
2. The assessment is typically administered 3 times a year.
3. aimswebPLUS provides raw scores, scale scores, percentile scores and growth percentile scores.
4. Includes students who completed the aimswebPlus assessment and had a valid benchmark score in the most recent screening window (excludes deactivated tests), including students who have exited.
5. A school's aimswebPlus metrics only include students’ aimswebPlus data from when they attended that school.
