[quote=Anonymous]This is our first year in private school and we just received our child's ERB report.  In addition to the national norms and independent school norms, our school provided the local grade norms (e.g., how our kid did in comparison to other kids in his grade at his school).  His national norm results were all 99th percentile (as every assessment at our public also showed, and which was true for all the APS-wide percentages as well), his independent school percentiles are in the lower 90s, but his local grade norm ("GN" on the ERB report) percentiles are between 75 and 85 percent.  This indicates to me that he's in a much stronger cohort of peers in terms of academics, in that a quarter or so of the kids in his grade are doing better than him.  Am I missing something?  We never got explicit information on a report from our North Arlington public about how our daughter compared to her peers, but we were told by the math specialist that her standardized test scores were consistently in the top "one or two" for her grade on MAP, COGAT, NNAT.
