Florida Statewide Assessment Program: Guide to Predicted Reports, 1975-76.
Florida State Dept. of Education, Tallahassee. Div. of Public Schools.
Florida's Statewide Assessment Program of the State Department of Education has been involved in a major effort to develop adequate strategies for releasing and publishing assessment scores for schools. One dimension of this effort has been the development of predicted or "adjusted" scores. These scores compare a school to other similar schools rather than simply to the state average. Using complex statistical techniques, the Florida Statewide Assessment Program developed and released predicted test scores for each school which participated in the 1974-75 assessment of communication skills and mathematics in grades 3, 6, and 9. The predicted scores were based on several factors which are related to achievement: Spanish native language, family income, white collar occupation, college education, and minority enrollment. This document is a guide to the predicted scores calculated from the 1975-76 assessment of communication skills and mathematics in grades 3 and 6. (Author/MV)
