Alexandria Students
High in State Tests
Seventh Graders Rute
Third in Virginia

Alexandria public school pupils
rated third highest in the State on
standard tests given in all seventh
grades in Virginia last spring to de-
termine school system efficiency.
T. G. Williams, superintendent OF
schools. said the figures were given
to him by officials of the State De-
partment of Education in Rich
mond.
Alexandria seventh graders aver
aged l3 years. months, chrono-
logical age. which is the national
average. Their average mental age
was found to be 13 years. months
but on the standard tests given
they achieved an average OF l3
years. II months.
Mr.. Williams said the age rating
achieved in the test was six months
higher than the national average
nine months higher than the aver
age in Virginia cities and is months
higher than the average for State
cities and counties.
Mr.. Williams explained that Alex
andrias rating of third was an even
greater achievement than the fig
ures indicated. because 365 children
were tested in the city. while the
schools which rated first and Sec
one had groups of fewer than 100
pupils which, according to those
familiar with the tests. tends to dis
tort the accuracy of the figures.
