This year my daughter took the Stanford Achievement Test. The district gave the test to all the GT students in the district as a pilot group. I guess they are trying to determine if they want to give it district-wide. We haven't received the scores yet. I think this type of test has more value for schools to determine how they compare to other schools rather than having value for individual students. I would like to see more nation wide testing rather than individual state testing. Not in addition to but as a substitute. You cannot have adequate accountability when you are testing yourself.
I am not expecting the results of this achievement test to tell me much about my daughter. She has already taken the SB-IV and WJ. I will post my impression once I receive the results which we should receive soon.
