Hello!
It's certainly challenging to trace assessments from decades ago, but I'll try to help. In the 1980s, New Jersey schools often used a variety of tests for gifted program assessments. While E.A.S. isn't a standard abbreviation that stands out, it might refer to a specific test component or scoring system used at the time. Given the context, it could represent an "Educational Assessment Scale" or something along those lines.
The SRA scores you mentioned were common, as Science Research Associates had several popular educational assessments. It might be worth reaching out to educational psychologists or district offices from that era, as they might have insights into regional testing practices or any unique tests used at the time.
Good luck with your search!
