CTP IV-ERB 2008 National Test Results for Wilshire Private School for Grades 4th - 6th

Along with many other independent schools, Wilshire Private School does not take the usual state mandated standardized tests, opting instead for the CTP IV-ERB. The ERB is a much more rigorous standardized test that measures Wilshire Private School against other independent schools in the nation. This higher level of measurement ensures that WPS students are measured against the achievement of other independent school students. Consequently, the ERB is a much more challenging exam and a more accurate measurement of students' skills. General scores are available in the main office to be used as indicators of the high quality of WPS students.

Together, these reports help ensure compliance with state and federal guidelines.

Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) measures achievement on the California Achievement test, given each year to students in grades 2-11. These tests assess whether a school is meeting state educational goals and measures progress from year to year.

Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) is a statewide accountability system mandated by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 which requires each state to ensure that all schools and districts make Adequate Yearly Progress.
