make this shorter: To conclude, the results of the ANOVA test revealed a significant difference in the MAAP ELA scores among the third through sixth-grade students. The mean scores decreased as the grade level increased, with the third grade having the highest mean score and the sixth grade having the lowest. This suggests that as students progress through the grades, their MAAP ELA scores tend to decrease. The null hypothesis was therefore rejected. The Tukey's HSD test further confirmed these findings, indicating significant differences between the grade levels. This study provides valuable insights into the performance trends across the grades in the MAAP ELA test. It is crucial for educators to understand these trends to develop effective teaching strategies and interventions to improve student performance in English Language Arts. Future research should explore the factors contributing to the observed differences in test scores among the grades
