How well do Green Woods Students score in the Terra Nova standardized tests?
In the Spring of 2008, Green Woods students in Grades 1 and 2 were administered the TerraNova standardized test to assess their ability to meet objectives in areas such as Language Arts, Word Recognition, Math and Science. Terra Novas are “norm-referenced” tests given to many schools throughout the state and country. Green Woods students outperformed the national percentiles in 36 of 38 objectives and came very close on the remaining two objectives. In past years, students in Grades 1-8 were required to take the Terra Nova tests as well as the PSSAs. Our test scores for the Fall 2006 Science TerraNova are remarkable as these scores far exceed the local, state, and national percentages of students scoring in the top quartile. This was also true in areas of Reading and Math See Green Woods Fall 2006 Science TerraNova. (PDF) Are students with IEPs required to take standardized tests? Yes. All Green Woods IEP students must participate in standardized tests with appropriate accommodations.
