standardized tests to all elementary 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 national 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.
