Testing

Standardized aptitude and achievement tests are a means of identifying a child's capabilities and achievements at a particular level. Combined with other information, these tests help present teachers and parents with a picture of the total child. St. Edith Catholic School offers a complete battery of tests including:

• Star 360 Testing
• Readiness Tests
• AOD Religion Testing
• High School Placement Test - Grade 8 (Fall of each year)

Star 360 Testing Results

Scaled Score:  Ranges from 0-1400 and spans grades 1-12. It is calculated based on the difficulty of the questions and the number of correct responses. Scaled Score is useful for comparing student performance over time and across grades.

Grade Equivalent:  Represents how a student's test performance compares with that of other students nationally. For example, if the GE is 5.2, that means this student scores the same as an average fifth grade in the second month, NOT that they can complete fifth-grade level material.

Percentile Rank:  Scores range from 1-99 and express student ability relative to the scores of other students in the same grade nationally. For example, if the percentile rank is 75, the student's skills are greater than 75% of other children in the same grade that score similarly nationwide. 

Instructional Reading Level:  A criterion-referenced score that is the highest reading level at which a student is 80% proficient or higher at comprehending material with assistance.
