*** Approximately 1/3^rd students reported in this test (requires height and weight measurement). These numbers are significant since the CDE uses the same “N” for each fitness task regardless of how many actually completed it. This explains the really low numbers in body composition at the 9^th grades where only approximately one third of students actually report height/ weight as the measure of body composition.
