What you are looking at: This graph shows the achievement data broken out by groups of students with similar characteristics.  The bar represents the percentage of children who attained or exceeded the level of proficiency.
What you are looking for: You are looking for the relative shortfalls between the 100% goal and the actual attained proficiency of children wtih certain comparable characteristics.  You are also looking for gaps between the achievement of groups of students with different characterisctis.  Again, the Regents goal is for all children to become fully proficient in all tested subjects.  Equipped with the knowledge of its shortfalls, a school can begin to target strategies and resources to close the gaps.
