The school-level reports below provide table and
graphic displays of matched data from 1999 and 2000 SAT 9 Total Reading and Total
Mathematics results. They show the progress made by the students of a school from one year
to the next. Only those students are included who were tested in the spring of both years
and were continuously enrolled at the school from the fourth Friday of the 1999-2000
school year through the time of spring testing.
The data tables display:
- 2000 grade level at which students
were tested in spring 2000, (e.g., Grade 6 represents the cohort of students in Grade 5 in
1999 and Grade 6 in 2000);
- Number (N) of students with
matched scores from 1999 to 2000; results are only displayed if there are 10 or more
students in a grade;
- 1999 SS and Pct: the mean (average)
scale score and percentile rank for the students from spring 1999 SAT 9 testing;
- 2000 SS and Pct: the mean (average)
scale score and percentile rank for the students from spring 2000 SAT 9 testing;
- Change: the change in average scale
score (SS) and percentile rank (Pct) from spring 1999 to spring 2000; a positive change in
scale score indicates that the students gained in overall knowledge from 1999 to 2000 as
measured by SAT 9; a positive change in percentile rank indicates that the students made
greater than one year of growth for a year of instruction compared to the norm group; a
"0" change indicates on average one year of growth; a negative change indicates
on average less than one year of growth (as long as the scale score average increases,
students are still acquiring knowledge). A particularly desirable outcome is one in which
there is greater than expected growth for groups starting below the 50th percentile.
The graphs display the pre-post change
scores in relation to the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles (the shaded three lines). Each
dark line segment shows the progress of a cohort of students from spring 1999 to spring
2000. The beginning of each segment represents the mean SAT 9 scale score from spring 1999
and the end represents the mean SAT 9 scale score from spring 2000.
