School Assessment Information  \n2022-2023 National Blue Ribbon Schools Program  \nUpdated August 26, 2022  \nThis information is provided for private schools interested in being nominated for the National Blue Ribbon Schools Award by the Council for American Private Education (CAPE) based on the criterion that the school is in the top 15 percent of the schools in the nation in reading and mathematics. The following publishers of nationally normed achievement tests have provided“cutoff scores” that define the top 15 percent of schools in each of these two subject areas:  \nTest Name  \nIowa Assessments (Form E,F,G) SAT – 10th Ed (Forms A and D) 1,2 AIMSWebPlus 2  \nTerra Nova 3/NEXT  \nSAT 2017 3 ACT PreACT ACT Aspire CTP 5  \nMAP 4  \nPerformance Series Star  \nCLT, CLT10, CLT8  \ni-Ready Diagnostic  \nEdmentum Assessments 5  \nTest Publisher  \nRiverside Publishing Pearson Education  \nPearson Education DRC/CTB College Board ACT  \nACT ACT  \nEducational Records Bureau NWEA  \nScantron  \nRenaissance Learning Classic Learning Initiatives Curriculum Associates Edmentum  \n1 The “Student Percentile Equivalent for the 85th School Percentile” provided in Column 2 for each grade in the tables for the SAT – 10th Edition is based on 2002 norms. If a school has student percentile equivalents for this test based on 2007 norms, it should not compare the student percentile equivalent of its mean scale score for each grade to the table values for the “Student Percentile Equivalent for the 85th School Percentile” to determine eligibility. Instead, it should compare its school mean scale scores for each grade with the table values for the “School Mean Scale Score at 85th Percentile of National School Norms” in Column 1. The school should also report mean scale scores in its application instead of student percentile equivalents.  \n2 Cutoff scores based on 2018 norms for the SAT 10 and cutoff scores for the AIMSWebPlus have not been provided yet by the publisher. If a school has received results for the SAT 10 based on 2018 norms or results for the AIMSWebPlus, it must look at the student national percentile equivalent of the mean scale score in each grade (using the norms from the appropriate time of year) . If the student percentile equivalent is 85 or greater in each grade, this will be a sufficient indicator that the school isin the top 15 percent for all grades tested.  \n3 The SAT 2017 replaces the previous version of the SAT. The cutoff scores provided are based on Concordance Tables provided by the College Board for converting scale scores on the previous version to scores on the 2017 version.  \n4 Cutoff scores are provided based on both 2020 and 2015 norms.  \n5 Cutoff scores for the Edmentum Assessments have not been provided yet by the publisher. If a school has received results for the Edmentum Assessments, it must look at the student national percentile equivalent of the mean scale score in each grade (using the norms from the appropriate time of year) . If the student percentile equivalent is 85 or greater in each grade, this will be a sufficient indicator that the school is in the top 15 percent for all grades tested.  \nIf your school has student achievement assessment results on one of these nationally normed tests that appear to provide evidence that the school is in the top 15 percent of all schools nationally, review the tables provided below and find the two tables, one for reading and one for mathematics, for that test. Each table contains cutoff scores for each grade (3 and above) in which school norms are available. The cutoff score is the minimum score a school needs to be nominated as being in the top 15 percent of the schools in the nation for that test. Further details about these cutoff scores are provided on the next page.  \nMean Scale Scores Corresponding to the 85th Percentile  \nof National School Norms  \nThe top 15 percent of schools are those schools that score at or above the 85th percentile of schools administering a pa","cbCaioDzEXxsnJiQ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioDzEXxsnJiQ","pdf",375452,18,"English","# Private School Assessment Information\n## National Blue Ribbon Schools Program eligibility criteria\n## Nationally normed tests and publishers\n## How to use cutoff scores and 85th percentile tables","[{\"question\":\"What criterion determines whether a private school can be nominated for the National Blue Ribbon Schools Award?\",\"answer\":\"The school must be in the top 15 percent of schools nationally in reading and mathematics based on nationally normed achievement tests.\"},{\"question\":\"Which test results are compared to the cutoff thresholds for eligibility?\",\"answer\":\"The school compares either mean scale scores (Column 1) or, if mean scale scores are not available, the national student percentile equivalent of the mean scale score (Column 2) for reading and mathematics in each tested grade.\"},{\"question\":\"How does a school use the 85th percentile tables to demonstrate eligibility?\",\"answer\":\"For each tested grade (3 and above), the school checks whether its reading and mathematics results meet or exceed the mean scale score at the 85th percentile of national school norms, or the corresponding student percentile equivalent at the 85th school percentile.\"}]","Private School Assessment Information - National Blue Ribbon Schools Program - Cutoff Scores | PDF",45]
