How do Prospect Sierra students do on standardized tests?
We administer the ERB (Educational Records Bureau) tests mandated by the National Association of Independent Schools. Students take this test in November of each year, beginning in the third grade. In the elementary school, testing gives students exposure to the format and experience of standardized tests. Over time, students learn skills and gain confidence that allow them to perform at their personal best. By the time they apply to high school in the eighth grade, test scores cluster around the 90th percentile when normed against scores from other independent schools across the nation.
