Student achivement at 123 schools participating in the NSF Math and Science Partnership program is illustrated. The proficiency percentages compare 2002-2003, when the program began, and 2004-2005, the most recent year for which data are available. The "*" denotes a statisically significant change at the 0.05 level (i.e., 1 in 20 chance the change results from random chance).
