Comparing State and District Results to National Norms: The Validity of the Claims that "Everyone Is above Average".
Linn, Robert L.; And Others
Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, v9 n3 p5-14 Fall 1990
Results of a 1987 report--indicating that elementary students of all 50 states were above the national average--were assessed via 2 national mail and telephone surveys. Although results of data for 35 states support the general findings of the 1987 report, it appears that more specific results are less sensational. (TJH)
