Here is an explanation of the Percentile score

Track My Progress Percentile score is a metric that allows students to be ranked among peers who completed the test during the same test window of the year. This is based on the data collected from a nationally representative US sample during the norming period.

The percentiles range from 1-99 and can give a teacher, administrator, or anyone involved in the student’s education an idea of how well the student is learning. For example, if a student is ranked in the 70th percentile, they would be considered above average.

However, if a student is ranked in the 20th percentile, they are below average. Percentile does not measure how many questions the student answered correctly (percent correct). If a student is in the 30th percentile, it means they did better than 29% of the students who took the test during the same month in the norming period.
