Griswold, Philip
Goal-referenced tests and standardized achievement tests were used to assess the basic skill levels for reading, writing, and mathematics of students attending Parkrose Public Schools of Portland (Oregon) during the 1983-84/1985-86 period. Focus is on estimating the instructional program's success, providing a resource for planning and implementing new programs, and communicating results of achievement to the community. Data are provided for Prescott, Russell, Sacramento, Shaver, and Sumner Elementary Schools; and middle and high schools in the district. The goal-referenced tests assess achievement in grades 3 and 5 in reading. For writing, the assessment covers grades 4, 7, and 11. Mathematics achievement is assessed for grades 3 and 6. Standardized achievement tests survey broad curriculum content for mathematics and readings for grades 3 through 9. Data are also are provided for high school graduates' college grades and on truancy. Sixty-nine bar graphs present the data. (TJH)
