Clarksville Christian School Announces Stanford Achievement Scores

Students’ scores place school above national Average

Clarksville, TN – Students at Clarksville Christian School (CCS,) have achieved Stanford standardized test scores that place CCS at or above national average.

Stanford test scores are broken down into “Stanine” (ˈstā-ˌnīn\) scores. A Stanine of 1, 2, or 3 indicates the student is performing below average, a Stanine of 4, 5, or 6 indicates the student is performing on an average level, and a Stanine of 7, 8, or 9 indicates the student is performing above average. The majority of students at CCS scored a 7, 8, or 9 in both Reading/Language Arts and Mathematics.

In Reading/Language Arts, 64% of students at CCS scored in the above average category, while 98% percent of students scored either average or above average. In Mathematics, 58% of students scored above average, while 100% of students enrolled at CCS scored either average or above average. Students in Kindergarten through 9th grade participated in the assessment.

“Clarksville Christian School is committed to academic excellence, and our four year history of Stanford data shows that we are an effective school,” said Lisa Tucker, Head of School for Clarksville Christian School. “Our goal of exceeding Common Core Standards while infusing the academic day with Biblical truths is not only relevant, but is essential to equipping students for righteous Christian living in their adult lives.”

Stanford Achievement tests are considered the benchmark of excellence in standardized achievement tests, and are utilized by school districts in the United States for assessing children from kindergarten through high school. Each level of the test is broken into subtests or strands covering various subjects such as reading comprehension, mathematics problem-solving, language, spelling, listening comprehension, science, and social science.
