The Statewide Testing Program assessed the achievement of South Carolina students in grades 3, 6, and 11. The Comprehensive Tests of Basic Skills, Form S (CTBS/S) were used to measure achievement in reading, language, mathematics, reference skills, science, and social studies. Over 126,000 students, representing 91 of South Carolina's 92 school districts, participated in the testing program. The results of the 1976-1977 testing activities are presented. The report discusses the performance of South Carolina students in relation to the nation's performance, and analyzes the results according to race, sex, Title I status, grade level, and skills tested. The purpose of the program, the methodology used, and the interpretation of the test scores are also described. (DSE)
