Cherry Creek Schools Student Achievement Testing, 1986-87.
Bracey, Gerald W.; And Others
In order to assess the locally developed curricula, the Cherry Creek School District of Colorado developed several objective-referenced tests focused on objectives that instructional staff have identified as important for all district students. The local assessments are designed to work in conjunction with the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills (ITBSs) to provide a picture of district-wide achievement. This report provides and interprets results on these test instruments for the 1986-87 school year for selected elementary and secondary school students. Data are presented in terms of ITBS percentile ranks of average grade equivalents for grades 3, 5, 6, and 7; and percentile bands for grades 3, 5, and 7. Areas measured via the tests include writing, critical thinking, reading, study skills, vocabulary, work study, mathematics, social studies, and language skills. Twenty-three data tables and 18 graphs are presented. (TJH)
