10. National Norm Referenced Test: • The national norm referenced test used in Kentucky, the CTBS, allows us to compare the basic skills of our students with national benchmarks established in 1996. These scores are reported in percentiles, or the percentage of students who fell below a particular score on the test. For example, “60%ile” indicates that the average student in our school scored equal to or better than 60 percent of all students across the nation who took the test. • National NormReference Test(CTBS)= • GRADE 9: • Reading Language Arts Mathematics • School 51%tile 40%tile 34%tile • State 58%tile 50%tile 51%tile • Nation 50%tile 50%tile 50%tile

11. ACT Five Year Trend: The ACT is America’s most widely accepted college entrance exam. It assesses high school students’ general educational development and their ability to complete college-level work. The multiple-choice tests cover four skill areas: English, mathematics, reading, and science. All Kentucky juniors are required to take the ACT,  beginning in the 2007-2008 school year, because of  an action of the 2006 Kentucky Legislature. This chart shows our schools progress on the ACT over the past five years.

13. Other Measures: The third component of CATS is our school’s performance in attendance, retention*, dropout rate and, for successful transition to adult life. Data in these tables reflect our performance during the 2005 - 2006 school year.

15. This number looks skewed because of the formula KDE uses to calculate the student resources. Small districts use funds form many different sources that are not part of the formula. Next year, they are going to work with us to make our number more reflective of the actual amount that is being sent at the school.
