Test Bias of a Kindergarten Screening Battery: Predicting Achievement for White and Native American Elementary Students.

Stone, Brian J.; Gridley, Betty E.

School Psychology Review, v20 n1 p132-39 1991

The relationship between a kindergarten screening battery (KSB) and scores on the Stanford Achievement Test was studied as a function of race for 519 white and 183 Native American students in kindergarten through grade 4. Prediction of the child's achievement test scores is more accurate when race is considered. (SLD)
