Stanford 10 Elementary Exams
Posted on May 19th 2009
Dear Parents,
On May 24th, 26th, 28th, 31st and 2nd June, Elementary students will be taking the Stanford 10 exam. This is the same exam students took in November.
The Stanford 10 is a norm-referenced standardized test. This means that your child’s scores provide a comparison of his or her performance to that of thousands of other children in the same grade who took Stanford 10 at the same time of year.
The results help show what your child has learned and what your child has not yet mastered. It is important to understand that no one “passes” or “fails” the Stanford 10 and this will not be part of your child’s report card. It is, however, very important that your son or daughter take the test seriously. This will inform you of your son or daughter’s level in math, reading, spelling, and language mechanics. The school will use the results to determine where we need to strengthen our curriculum.
