[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t put too much stock in this assessment. Sometime we need to evaluate the validity of assessments.

And to the person trying to compare public schools to private, do private schools take the MCAP? I’m assuming they don’t. Furthermore, I wonder how public schools would do if they made students qualify for admission, and exclude any highly impacted students such as those with special needs or new to the English language, or those that can barely afford to feed their children, let alone pay for private tutors.

This.  Have the state go ask all the surrounding private schools how many would be willing to test their 3rd and 5th grade students.  They would freak.  [b]Privates barely share score information with parents when they do test.[/quote][/b]

Not true. My kid took Iowa assessments and some other standardized test (can't think of the same right now) in his Catholic MS. He also took the HSPT and got the results from all of these tests rather quickly. [/quote]
Did they share the entire grade's combined results?[/quote]

Yes. They shared all of the school and the archdiocese results.[/quote]
