Grade Equivalent  Grade Equivalent (GE): A grade equivalent is a score that describes your student’s achievement on a grade level scale. The GE is a decimal number that describes academic performance in terms of grade level and month.  If your student (as a 3rd grade student) receives a GE of 4.2 on the third grade Reading Test, this means your student scored as well as a fourth grade student in the second month of the school year if given the same third grade Reading Test.

National Percentile Ranks  What is a National Percentage Rank (NPR)? An NPR is the percentage of people who were assessed under the same circumstances and achieved a lower score. It is impossible to be in the 100 th percentile since you cannot score better than yourself.

ACA, Diocese of Orlando, and Province of Florida comparisons by grade level Comparisons are National Percentile Rank

What do we do with the results? Analyze the scores as a whole faculty, teams, and as  individual teachers Look for trends  Create action plans to help those students whose scores  are below grade level and challenge those students whose scores are above grade level
