Bianchi said that on a normal distribution curve, 23 percent of the students will perform above average, 54 percent in the middle range, and 23 percent below average. Jordan District's student population appears to be above average, since 30 percent of the students across the grades perform in the upper range, 56 percent in the middle range, and only 13 percent perform in the lower range. language, study skills, and math, were given to over 35,000 students from kindergarten to eighth grade last spring.
