Note: This table compares PPS TAG students with PPS students who are not identified as TAG students. The "averages" thus differ from the overall PPS average gains. TAG students who "exceed" benchmarks are a much higher proportion of all TAG students than non-TAG students who exceed are to all non-TAG students.
