The results of this test are given to the parents at the end of each year and are reviewed with parents during parent conference day. This norm referenced test allows our students to be compared to similar students nationally. The SAT 9 scores for each grade level are shown below. These scores are not comparable to other district's test scores as they do not include the non-English speaking student's test scores. The scores of the non-English speaking students are available for review at the District Office.
Scores reflect resuts of all general and special education students.
In August 1999, the Valley Center Union School District Governing Board adopted a policy on promotion and retention. A copy of this policy is at each school office. Beginning with the 1999-2000 school year, all students in the District will be assessed on how well they are meeting grade level standards based upon multiple measures of academic achievement. Indicators to be used can include performance on state testing, academic course grades, district proficiency assessments, mastery of grade level standards, teacher recommendation, and other measures of student performance. Excessive absences and tardies are reported to parents by mail, phone, or conference.
