[quote=Anonymous]Yardstick for the school. A way to measure against peer schools and also possibly indicate effectiveness of curriculum changes. For example: school changes math curriculum, then looks at ERB (as ONE data point) over the next few years to check for changes, and if changes are present, what subskills were most affected. Private schools are often so small that the size of a "representative sample" would cast doubt on any trends. It can also act as an additional data point for kids that may need support. Is a kid acing ERB while performing poorly on class assignments? The opposite? There are parents who will reject teachers' opinions that a child could benefit from additional support but who will accept a pattern of poor test scores as more "objective."[/quote]
