| Summary: | This report describes and presents the 1984-85 results of the norm-referenced and criterion-referenced testing programs used in the Los Angeles Unified School District (California) to evaluate student progress and to identify instructional areas needing remediation. The norm-referenced Comprehensive Tests of Basic Skills (CTBS), Form U, is used to determine the reading and mathematics achievement of English-speaking students in grades 4, 7, and 11. The CTBS/Espanol is administered to all Spanish-speaking, limted English proficient students in bilingual classrooms in grades 1-6 who do not meet English testing criteria. Regional results as well as school by school results are given as the percentages of students scoring in the lower quarter, middle half, and upper quarter of the national score distribution. The competency testing program uses criterion referenced tests based on the district's instructional objectives in reading, mathematics, and composition. During 1984-85, 200,346 elementary students were tested with the Survey of Essential Skills. At the junior high level, the CTBS/U, level H was administered to all seventh graders. The percentage of students passing at each school are presented. At the senior high level, students must demonstrate competency on the Senior High Assessment of Reading Performance, the Test of Performance in Computational Skills, and WRITE:Sr in order to receive high school diplomas. Results are presented in tables and figures, including the percentages of students passing each test at each school for the 1985 through 1988 graduating classes. (BS) |
