Scholastic Aptitude Test Results by Grade

Sunset Mesa administers standardized tests to all students in Grades 1 through Grade 5 each year in April. We used the Stanford Achievement Test Series, Ninth Edition (SAT 9) through 2005 and began administering the SAT 10 in 2006. All of the Stanford tests are norm-referenced nationally and adjusted for the time of year the test is administered. These tables show the mean percentile rank of Sunset Mesa students by grade level.

Percentile Equivalents Corresponding to the 90th Percentile in National School Norms

Companies that develop the nationally-normed standardized tests have also computed national school percentile rankings in reading and math.  To compute a national school percentile, the testing companies average the percentile ranking of each student in each grade level in each school; they then make a percentile ranking of the school.  The chart below compares the average student percentile rank of Sunset Mesa students by grade level with the average student percentile rank required to be at the 90th percentile of school scores nationally on the SAT 10th Edition.
