Page 5-THE NEWS-January, 1984 Students Score Above National Average The third graders at the North Carolina Hebrew Academy scored an average of 73% above the national average on the California Achievement Tests given last spring. In other non*public schools in North Carolina, third graders scored an average of 27% above the na tional average. Son^s were on ly an average of 11% above the national average for third graders attending public schools. These figures apply to the total battery of tests in cluding reading, spelling, language and mathematics. This years scores were significantly higher than those of 1982 for first, second and third graders at the Hebrew Academy. These scores were also much hi^^er than other non-public and public schools in this state. The first grade scores were an average of one year above grade level in reading and almost two years above grade level in mathematics. The second grade scores were an average of almost four years above grade level in reading and three years above grade level in mathematics. The third grade scores were an average of almost three full years above grade level in reading, seven years above grade level in spelling, five years above grade level in language, and two years above grade level in mathematics. Grade equivalent scores show at what level (grade and month) students are perform ing. For example, a score of 6.4 means sixth grade, fourth month. Grade equivalent scores such as these are one way of comparing the perfor mance of students. It is an achievement test score that shows whether the child’s per formance is above, below, or the same as other students in his/her grade. The basic reason for testing in schools is to improve educa tion. The Hebrew Academy faculty give the foUowing three reasons for administer ing btandardized achievement tests such as the California Achievement Test: (1) to ac curately measure individual achievement, (2) to form an ob jective basis for compairison with other schools, and (3) to monitor internal effectiveness, trends, and progress. Stan dardized tests give infcnma- tion about how students in a given class, school, or school system are doing in relation to other children. However, it is • important to remember that this is (mly one way teachers can get information about students and programs. Parents of the Hebrew Academy students have always thought their children were getting a superior educa tion and here are the figures to back up their observations.

On Dec. 2, Mark, Lucy and their son, Leon, became naturalized American citizens. Their younger son, Chris, was already a citizen, having been bom in N.C. Leon celebrated his Bar Mitzvah on Dec. 3, making him the first of Charlotte’s Russian immigrants to have this privilege. He is indeed fortunate to have had both sets of grandparents and his aunt and uncle, who came to the U.S. six years present at this important occasion. The Barkans have lived liere for almost 8 years. Judy, your call concerning the picture in November’s issue was not forgotten; unfortunately the last part of this column was lost last month.
