    Results may take time to be returned to the student/parent, feedback to the student is usually very limited, and the student usually has no opportunity to be reassessed. Thus, Summative Assessment tends to have the least impact on improving an individual student 's understanding or performance. Students/parents can use the results of Summative Assessments to see where the student 's performance lies compared to either a standard (MEAP/MME) or to a group of students (usually a grade-level group, such as all 6th graders nationally, such as Iowa Tests or ACT). Teachers/schools can use these assessments to identify strengths and weaknesses of curriculum and instruction, with improvements affecting the next year 's/term 's…

    The Maryland School Assessment (MSA) is a test of reading, math, and science achievement. This test provides educators, parents, and the public valuable information about student, school, school system, and state performance. Before the state could hold schools accountable for student’s proficiency on the new state assessment, proficiency had to be defined. Setting proficiency standards for Maryland School Assessment (MSA) involved determining proficient and advanced performance on the tests. The Performance Standard determines where the cut score is for students considered to be performing at the proficient and advanced levels. All other students will be considered to be performing at the basic level. (Maryland Assessment, 2012)…

    Last year, Margaret E. Raymond, et. al., published the report “National Charter School Study 2013,” called CREDO 2013, on academic performance of students between charter schools and traditional public schools (TPS). The survey covered 27 states and District of Colombia, and the observation was conducted on 1,532,506 charter school students with a matched group of students from TPSs. The report concluded that when considering the academic student performance, 25 % of charter school students were estimated to have greater score than comparable TPSs’ students in reading comprehension, and 25% of charter school students were estimated to have greater score than comparable TPSs’ students in Mathematics, whereas, 19% of charter school students were estimated to have lower score than comparable TPSs’ students in reading comprehension, and 31% of charter school students were estimated to have lower score than comparable TPSs’ students in mathematics. Therefore, the report concluded that reading ability of charter school students is better than the TPS’s students, and the skill to solve mathematics is the same between two educational…

    For years, children of all ages have been required to take standardized tests in order to assess their capabilities and theoretically prepare them for further education. These tests are often the main factor in acceptance into colleges and universities, used in grade advancement for younger ages, and an overall indicator of a person’s ability. However, because of the lack of variety in the subjects they evaluate, standardized tests are often under scrutiny for whether or not they are actually as necessary as the school systems all across the county make them out to be. With ample evidence supporting both sides of the argument, there are an outstanding amount of students, principles, and community members that stand against the excessive and dependent use of standardized tests. Standardized tests are not accurate depictions of a student’s ability to perform in an academic setting whether it is college or the next grade that they face.…
