New Covenant School

Academic Profile of NCCS Students

 Grades 2-8 as of April, 2003

and

High School Average Scores for ACT and SAT as of June, 2007 

The following are based on Stanford Achievement Testing done in April of 2003.  Grades K and 1st are not included in the results as WRAT tests were used for those students.  Grades 9-12 are not included because those students have the option of taking the ACT or SAT (College Board) in lieu of the Stanfords.  Most of the top students choose that option so scores for grades 9-12 would be skewed toward the lower students.

Scores will be listed in 3 categories:

Mean National percentiles

AAC Ranges -- percentiles in each of the 3 categories (low, medium high).  The AAC Range compares ability with achievement.  AAC results are expected to be concentrated in the medium range.

SAI index percentiles -- ability percentiles on a national basis.

Mean National Percentiles

Second Grade (please take into account that most of our parents believe in the gentle start or late start method for Kindergarten and First Grade; this shows in their results, but the students catch up rather quickly)

AAC Range

AAC Ranges -- percentiles in each of the 3 categories (low, average, high).  The AAC Range compares ability with achievement.  AAC results are expected to be concentrated in the medium range.  Using AAC Range, even a high ability student who is scoring at their ability will receive an Average mark, since "average" indicates they are scoring at their ability level.
