St. Teresa School Student Standardized Test Scores
Stanford Achievement Tests, Tenth Edition -
SAT 10
The SAT 10 has
been used to guide teaching and learning for over 80 years. The purpose
of its usage is to assess our student’s learning and their acquisition of
skills. The SAT 10 tests helps teachers to find out what students know or
need to know in order to guide their instruction appropriately. The test
is given to students in 2nd through 8th grades at St. Teresa of Avila
Catholic School. The test uses multiple-choice, short answer, and
extended response formats. Some grade levels require students to write
five to six sentences, graph their work or illustrate an answer to a
problem. This often occurs in the areas of math and science.
At St. Teresa
of Avila Catholic School, our achievement results show that our students
score well above the national average of the 50th percentile. These test
scores are reported in a variety of ways including a developmental scale,
norm-based scores that compare a student’s performance to a representative
sample across the United States.
We are very
pleased with our students’ achievement and are reassured that our
instruction and curriculum continues to meet the needs of all our
learners. The staff prides itself on providing a rigorous and challenging
curriculum always extending the instructional content well above the
benchmarks required by the State of Nevada and the Nevada Curriculum
Standards.
