Stanford Achievement Test Results

Northshore Christian Academy
Stanford Achievement Test Results
Spring 2010 

GE = Grade Equivalent: Indicates the grade level, including the month into the year that the student tested at (8.7 GE = eighth grade, seventh month).  An 8th grader should be performing at an 8.7 GE level. If they are performing at a 12.2 GE level, this means that the average student shows the achievement level of a 12th grader taking the 8th grade SAT test. *PHS = Post High School 

% = National Percentile:  Reflects the percentage of our students who performed at or above the fiftieth percentile in the nation (85% = 85% of our students scored at or above the fiftieth percentile in the nation). 

Three types of tests measure three different aspects of student learning: 

Achievement Tests:  Measures “How much does a student know?”  Measures what they can do or what they know.  (i.e. Stanford Achievement Test, ACT college test). First through eighth grades participate in the Stanford Achievement Test each year. 

Mastery Tests:  Measures whether a student meets a specific standard based on specific information required for mastery (i.e. driver’s license test, WASL). 

Ability Test:  Measures a student’s potential for learning.  (Scholastic Aptitude Test, Otis Lenin Ability Test).  NCA first, third, fifth and seventh grades are testing in the OLSAT test each year.
