The meaning of a box-plot for student results are as follows:

“These are pleasures for all, no matter how little a person will later be involved with maths: the pleasures of seeing the sense the world makes; of pride in your kind, for finding out how to uncover this sense; of heightened self-esteem, that you can master what seemed unattainable skills; and the pleasure of hearing this music without sounds, seeing this translucent architecture. Mathematics – rightly approached – will promote a clarity of thinking, a playfulness of imagination, and a freedom of invention that will enhance whatever you choose to turn your mind to.” Kaplan.
