Students in grades 3-10 receive a Lexile measure for ELA and a Quantile measure for math from the Wyoming Test of Proficiency and Progress (WY-TOPP).
What is a Lexile measure?
The Lexile Framework for Reading measures both a student’s reading ability and the text complexity of reading materials on the same developmental scale. The Lexile Framework matches readers with text that gives them the right level of challenge.
Students, parents can access Wyoming’s GoWYLD State Library Online Database to access online newspaper and magazine articles that match their Lexile range. Further information is broken out to provide tools and resources for Parents & Students.
What is a Quantile measure?
The Quantile Framework for Mathematics uses a common developmental scale to measure both the math skill level of the student and the difficulty of math skills and concepts they encounter. Find out more about Quantile measures. Further information is broken out to provide tools and resources for Parents & Students.

Family Engagement in Reading and Math is an introduction for families on how to utilize Lexile & Quantile measures to reinforce learning.
