ITBS Test Scores & Graphs
- 1. Iowa Tests of Basic Skills:Faith Lutheran 6th– 8th Scores from October 2008 Test. Normative data from 2005.
- 5. Comparison of 6th – 8th Grade NPR
Editor's Notes
- It’s extremely important to note that, as with all standardized tests, our student data is being compared to normative data. In the case of this years ITBS, scores are being normed with data from 2005. Take results with a grain of salt (even though we did quite well). There is definitely room for interpretation of the scores when it comes to modifying curricula. Some content areas will have the ability to see scores from specific sub-tests. It can help to compare the NPR scores within the same subject which would definitely show weaknesses/strengths.
- Notes/Observations:Math had the weakest Standard Scores translating to only a 9.9 GEMath Computation was low dropping the Math Total score.This contributed to the lowering of the Core Total score.Core Total is higher than Composite which means Social Studies, Science, and Source of Info Total were significantly lower than Reading, Language, and Math.The Source of Info Total score should be looked at for improvement as it may be responsible for considerably lowering the Composite.Performed the best on Language (11.6 GE) with Standard Scores ranging from 274-277.
- Notes/Observations:Highest scores on Science and Punctuation (10.0 and 9.9 GE respectively).Reading NPR shows high scores when compared to normative data.Math is concerning (specifically Computation) as it was the lowest NPR and GECore Total matches Composite which shows SS, Sci, Sources to be right up there with Reading, Language, and Math.
- Notes/Observations:Performed best on Language.Sources of Info total was high as well, bumping the Composite (really keeping it close to the Core TotalMath Computation a little low, but Math Total relatively high
- Can compare, relatively speaking, the National Percentile Ranks for our grades. This is not an indicator of how well they will do on future tests! Remember, the scores are compared to normative data from 2005!You can see that overall all grades have NPR’s above the 60th Percentile. 7th Math is low6th Language is high6th Sources of Info Total is high7th Science is highThis graph is not terribly scientific, but it does represent how each grade stands against the normative data (and in a roundabout way against each other grade).
