Extractions: (all revenue sources) aine students usually score better than their peers on national and international assessments. But that isn't good enough, leaders there say. Even though Maine's students consistently finish among the top few states on the National Assessment of Educational Progress and have fared well in recent international evaluations, state leaders are pushing for even higher achievement. They want more students to reach the "distinguished" and "advanced" levels on the Maine Educational Assessment. On the state's 1998 reading exam, just 1 percent of 4th graders and even fewer 8th graders were rated as distinguished, the highest classification. Twenty-two percent of the 4th graders and 18 percent of the 8th graders scored at the advanced level. Maine is routinely recognized for student achievement, but the state believes it can do better. On the mathematics exam, 7 percent of 4th graders and 2 percent of 8th graders reached the distinguished level. Thirteen percent of the 4th graders and 9 percent of the 8th graders scored at the advanced level.
