Results of standardized
tests given this year indicate
Georgia fourth graders are
performing very similarly to
fourth graders nationally
and are above the national
norm in some areas. State
eighth and eleventh graders
also show continued im
provements as compared to
both current national norms
and previous years’ scores.
Each fall, as part of the
Georgia Department of
Education Statewide Testing
Program, Georgia fourth,
eighth and eleventh graders
are tested on a sample basis
to see how they compare
with other students nation
wide. Results of these tests
were made available this
week by the education
department.
“Since we began this
testing program, our
students have shown steady
improvement,” said H. Titus
Singletary, Jr., associate
state school superintendent,
“I think we are finally
receiving a pay off for the
emphasis we have been plac
ing on curriculum planning,
staff development and im
proving basic skills at every
grade level.”
FOURTH GRADE
In the norm-referenced
testing program, fourth and
eighth grade students are
given the lowa Test of Basic
Skills and are tested in three
major areas - language,
work study and
mathematics. Sub-tests are
given in each of the three
areas (for example, punc
tuation and vocabulary in
language). Georgia fourth
grade students tested this
year performed slightly
above the national norm
group on work study, equal
to the national norm on
language and slightly below
mathematics. This best per
formance was in capitaliza
tion, use of reference
materials and mathematics
computation. The lowest
performance was in
vocabulary, usage and
reading.
The median standard
score for Georgia fourth
graders was 111.43 as com
pared with the national norm
of 113. The grade equivalent
for the Georgia students is
4.09 (about the fourth grade,
first month) as compared
with the national grade
equivalent of 4.2 (fourth
grade, second month).
“The steady increase
which has been evident since
the beginning of the program
has now resulted in grade
equivalents for Georgia
fourth graders which are 4.0
or above on all major com
posite scores,” said
Singletary.
EIGHTH GRADE
Even though growth in
achievement this year is
most evident at the fourth
and eleventh grade levels,
considerable improvement
for eighth graders can be
found in comparing 1979 to
1976 eighth grade per
formance.
This year, the standard
score for state eighth
graders was 152.37 as com
pared with the national norm
of 160. The grade equivalent
for Georgia students is 7.5,
and for the national group it
is 8.2, which Georgia in
dicates students are approx
imately seven months
behind the national norm.
The difference for Georgia
students in 1976 was much
greater, when the standard
score was 147.40 and the
grade equivalent was 7.1.
Reading and spelling were
the areas of highest per
formance for eighth grade
students this year, while
vocabulary, capitalization
and mathematics problems
were the lowest.
ELEVENTH GRADE
Eleventh grade students
took the Test of Achievement
and Proficiency (previously
called the Test of Academic
Progress) and were tested
on composition, reading,
mathematics and using in
formation. Because the test
was changed in 1978, com
parison data is available for
only two years. However, a
comparison for those two
years shows Georgia
students increasing their
standard score in every
area, even though they are
still performing about 12
months behind the national
norm.
The composite standard
score for Georgia eleventh
graders this year was 174.26,
and the grade equivalent
was 10.17. The national stan
dard score was 183, and the
grade equivalent was 11.2.
