ABSTRACT.In this'report, test resuas on the Georgia

Criterion-Referenced Tests (GCRT) are presented for first-, fourth-,'and 'eighth -grade Atlanta Ftupils. A brief report of results on theGeorgia Basic Skill Tests (GBST) for, tenth graders is Also included.Specifically, the,CRT is designed to assess students'. performance onreading (includidg concepts in reading, literal comprehension, andipferential comprehension) and mathematics (including conceptidentification, componentuopefution, and problem solving). The 1984mean scale scores of Atlanta first graders exceeded state performancelevels on both the reading and mathematics tests of the first-gradeGCRT. Although the reading and mathematics performance of'fourth-grade pupils continued to rise from 1980 to 1984, statewideperformance also rose. Thus, performance of Atlanta fourth gradersfell below the state level. The performance of Atlanta eighth graderswas also below the state level. Numerous tables list the performanceof each grade on test objectives; indicate performance of individualschools; and give comparisons among state (Georgia), district (MetroArea), and Atlanta norms. Comments on the GBST report that 91 percentoff pupils in regular tenth grades passed the reading test,and 85percent passed the mathematics test. (Skills measured by the GBSTwere similar, and in some cases identical, to those of theeighth grade GCRT, thoiigh at a higher level of difficulty.) (AS)

The 1983 revised fourth grade Georgia Criterion-Referenced Tests (kiCRT) was

administered for the first time in the spring of 1984. The new edition of the test

condensed the number of reading objectives from 20 to 11 and the numbitcot mathematics

objectives from 20 to 12. Additional changes involved deleting word-identification skills

objectives and adding problem-solving skills objectives to the reading test.

Overall Performance

A comparison of the mean scale scores of the fourth grade pupils of the Atlanta

Public Schools (AN) from 1981 to 1984 indicated a progressive rise in achievement in

both reading and mathematics. However, there was a rise in state. scores over the period

also. When the mean scale scores of APS pupils were compared with the mean scale

scores for all fourth grade pupils in Georgia for the same period, the state scores were

found to be higher in each skill area each year. The comparison is listed in Table 8.

Reading. The reading objectives and the percentage of APS pupils mastering each

are listed in Table 9. The percentages ranged from a low of 33 percent of the pupils

mastering Reading Objective 4 (recognizes implicitly stated main ideas, details, sequence

of events, and cause and effect relationships) to a high of 65 percent of the pupils

mastering Reading Objective 3 (interprets instructions). Comparing the performance of

114 the Atlanta pupils by objective with the performance of pupils in the metropolitan area

and the overall performance statewide, a lower percentage of Atlanta fourth graders

achieved each reading objective. The comparison is listed in Table 10. The Objective

Profile Report for reading is included in Table 11.

Mathematics. The percentage of fourth grade pupils achieving the mathematics---

objectives, which are listed in Table 9, ranged from 43 percent who were able to identify

sets of points and their relations and properties (Objet tive 3) to 82 percent who were able

to compute with whole numbers and Ira( Clow, (Objective 1). tiow(wer, when the

Morningstde, Smith, and West Manor. The listing of schools is indicated in Table 13.

The comparison of the mathematics performance of the fourth graders by elementarye

schools with the statewide perform anc e, listed in Table 14, indicated that a lardpercentage of fourth graders at Anderson Park, Brandon, East Lake, Garden Hills,Jackson, Lakewood, Miles, Morningside, Rusk, Smith, and West Manor elementary schoolsachieved the mathematics objectives.

Conclusions

Although the reading and mathematics Performance of the fourth grade pupils of the

Atlanta Public Schools continued to rise from 1980 to 1984, the statewide performance

rose also, and the performance levels for the Atlanta pupils fell below the statewidelevels. Each elementary school should examine closely the objectives on which the pupils

were strong and the objectives on which they were weak and then reinforce the fourthgrade instructional program where indicated,

PERFORMANCE OF THE EIGHTH GRADE, PUPILS ON THEGEORGIA CRITERION-REFERENCED TESTS

The -eighth grade pupils in the middle and high schools were administered the 1982

revision of the eighth grade Georgia Criterion-Referenced Tests (GCRT) in March .1984.

it was the second yer this edition of the test was used.

Overall Performance

The GCRT performance of the eighth grade pupils of the Atlanta Public SchOols(APS) imszrovecl each year from OM, to 1984, based on the comparison of the mean scale

scores which are indicated in Table '15. However, there was improvement each year in the

state scores, and the level of performance of APS pupils remained below the mean

performance levels of eighth graders throughout the state of Georgia.

Reading. The eighth grade reading objectives and the percentage of pupils mastering

each objective are listed in Table 16. The range of pupils mastering the objectives was

33 percent mastering Reading Objective 4 (implicitly stated main ideas, details, sequence

of events, and cause and effect relationships) to 76 percent mastering, ReadingObjective 6 (interprets -figurative language). Compared with the performance of pupils inthe metropolitan area and throughout Georgit a smaller percentage of APS eighthgraders mastered each objective. The comparison is indicated in Tables 17. The

Objective Profile Report for reading is included in Table .18.

Mathematics. The percentage of pupils mastering each mathematics objectiveTilltranged from /;1 percent to 75 percent. jectire on Which the least number of pupils

demonstrated mastery wa'S Mathematics Obj tiye"-4-, which was to identify relations and

prdperties of sets of points. The highest percentage of mastery was on MathematicsObjective 10 (organizes data). Again, alower percentage of, Atlanta pupils mastered each

objective when comparing their performance with the performance of pupils in

metropolitan Atlanta and throughout the state. (The data are listed in Tables 17.) The

Objective Profile Report for mathematics is listed in Table 19.

Performance bLSchool. The percentage of eighth grade pupils mastering the reading

objectives by school are listed in Table 20. No school exceeded the state performance

levels on all the objectives. Ilowever, the percentage of Sutton Middle School pupilsrnastering the reading objectives was higher than that of the state on a11-but Objective 9

(to make generalizations and draw conclusions).

-31-5 d

No school performed at or above the state performance levels in all the mathematics

objectives. However, Sutton again demonstrated the highest performance by having the

same or a higher percentage of the pupils master 8 of the 11 mathematics objectives. The

percent of pupils mastering the mathematics objectives by school is listed in Table 21.

1

Conclusions

The performance levels of the eighth grade students of APS were below the state

-levels. The objectives should be analyzed by school in order to improve the basicinstruction, where indicated, and prepare pupils for the tenth grade Basic Skills Tests.

The reading and mathematics objectives for the eighth grade listed in Table 16 and the

reading and mathematics clusters of the Basic Skills Tests listed in Table 22 are similar.

The eighth grade GCRT results for individual students should be used in planning theiriX4ninth grade instruction in language arts and mathematics.

GEORGIA BASIC SKILLS TESTS PERFORMANCE

The Georgia Basic Skills Tests (GBST) was designed to measure achievement in

reading, mathematics, and problem solving. A passing score on the GBST is a staterequirement for graduation with a diploma for all pupils, beginning with those pupils who

entered the ninth grade in the 1981-82 school year. (A detailed analysis of the GBST

results is included in Report No. 18-3, 7/84, entitled Georgia Basic Skills Tests, 1983-84

which can be obtained from the Di Vision of Research, Evaluation, and Data Processing.)

Overall Performance

After administering the GBST in the fall and again in the spring to those identifiedstudents who did not receive a passing score on both the reading and mathematics tests,

91 percent of the regular tenth grade pupils passed the reading test, and 85 percent passed

the mathematics test. When special education and English as a Second Language (ESL)

students were included, the percentage of tenth graders passing was 88 percent in reading

and 83 percent in mathematics.

After the spring testing period, 96 percent of the regular eleventh grade pupils passed

the reading test, and 95 percent passed the mathematics test. The percentage of eleventh

graders passing was 95 percent for reading and 93 percent for mathematics when special

education and ESL pupils were included.

The list of skills measured by the GBST is reported in Table 22.. The skills aresimilar, and in some cases identical, though at a higher level of difficulty, to the skillsmeasured on the eighth grade Georgia Criterion-Referenced Tests.

Conclusions

Mastery of certain basic skills is required for graduation from high school with adiploma. The GBST measures the skills which are introduced, not at the high school evel,

but at the primary level. The skills assessed at the /(irst, fourth, eighth, and tenth gr des

form a continuum. The key to mastery of the skills of the GBST is not remediation, whi h

is necessary for some students currently, but careful attention to the objectives asses

at the early grade levels and the use of the test data in instructional planring.
