STANFORD ACHIEVEMENT TEST Student performance on the Stanford Achievement Test (SAT) is reported for grades 2—8. The charts show the national percentile ranks that indicate the relative standing of the students in comparison with other students in the same grade in the norm (reference) group who took the test at a comparable time. Percentile ranks range from a low of 1 to a high of 99, with 50 denoting average performance for the grade. Percentile ranks are useful for comparing students’ performance on particular subjects relative to the performance of other students. Percentile ranks are also useful for comparing students’ performance across content areas in a score profile. God has blessed every child with different talents and abilities. At St. John Lutheran School our teachers strive to help each child use these God-given blessings to reach the highest academic level possible. These standard achievement tests do not measure everything that students have learned or been taught. The religious instruction that the children receive is not measurable by any standard achievement test. The effects of this instruction, which includes memorization and application of scripture, faith building activities, and worship experiences, can be seen in the lives and actions of our children.
