As part of Senate Bill 1, the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) is required to administer a norm-referenced test (NRT) for 2009-2010 and 2010-2011. KDE has contracted with Riverside Publishing to provide the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills for grades 3-7. State-required portions of this assessment are reading and mathematics.
The ITBS scores are not part of state or federal accountability. The assessment is for diagnostic purposes only. The school and district scores are reported publicly using national percentiles (Percentile Rank of Average Standard Score: National Student Norms). Each national percentile shows a student’s performance compared to other students who took the assessment at the same grade level and same time period—fall, mid-spring, or spring as compared to the 2005 norming group.
Note: On the report where there are blanks, data were not available.
