Friedman, Stephen J.; Frisbie, David A.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v55 n1 p5-26 Feb 1995
Report cards from 39 kindergarten, 59 elementary, 48 middle school, and 70 high school students in Wisconsin were content analyzed to determine their influence on meaningfulness of interpretations parents might make about academic achievement. Findings indicate that report cards typically have serious limitations that compromise the validity of the information conveyed. (SLD)
