* Key: COMBINED OVERSCORE 99-00 is the sum of the district's Overscores on both the 1999 and 2000 MCAS. Overscore is the difference between the demographically-predicted score and the actual district MCAS score. The higher the Combined Overscore, the more a district exceeded its demographic characteristics. For example, ELA4 99-00 is the combined score for English Language Arts for Grade 4 or the 1999 and 2000 MCAS; M4 99-00 is Math for Grade 4 , and such.
