Explanation of
Scores: Grade equivalent is a
norm-referenced standard score that represents
the average performance of students tested near
the end of the previous school year. Grade
Equivalents are best used to interpret the
performance of groups of students rather than
the performance or standing of an individual.
For example, at the end of the last academic
year, The Phoenix Schools’ second grade
students’ test scores averaged at a level
considered equal to the seventh month of a
traditional fourth grade.
Stanine is a standard score that is derived from
the Percentile Rank that ranges from 1 to 9 with
a mean of 5. Stanines indicate the grade’s
relative standing with respect to other students
in the United States in the same grade.
Stanines of 1,2,3 indicate a Below Average
Performance; 4,5,6 are Average; and 7,8,9 are
Above Average. |
