Scores ranging from

What is the best way to translate "ranging from" in the following sentence?

Even though the lowest performing schools in the state had API scores ranging from 401-699,

Thank you for your help!

A proposal:

"Aunque las escuelas con menor desempeño en el estado (ob)tuvieron resultados de 401 a 699 en el API."

I agree, although you could also say,
"Aunque las escuelas con menor desempeño en el estado (ob)tuvieron resultados que oscilan entre 401 y 699 en el API."

Oxford SUPERLEX gives,
range 1 (vary, extend) to range FROM sth TO sth:
their ages range from 12 to 20 =
son de edades comprendidas entre los 12 y los 20 años, tienen entre 12 y 20 años,
sus edades oscilan entre los 12 y los 20 años;

the book ranges in time from the Middle Ages to the present day =
el libro abarca desde la Edad Media hasta nuestros días
or
comprende el período entre la Edad Media y nuestros días;

estimates range up to $20,000 =
hay presupuestos de hasta 20.000 dólares;

the conversation ranged over many topics
o
ranged widely =
la conversación abarcó muchos temas
