Connecticut Catholic schools see high ITBS scores |
||
 Recently, officials from Connecticut's Office of Catholic Schools in the Archdiocese of Hartford announced that their students between grades three and seven received ITBS scores above the national average, Hamden's Patch website reports. These children were assessed in subjects such as mathematics, English language arts, science, social studies and reading. In all of these subjects, students who attended schools in the Archdiocese of Hartford scored in the top third in the country, the news source reports. Additionally, many children scored in the 85th to the 99th percentile, meaning they received better scores than 85 to 99 percent of students who took the test across the nation. The results from the ITBS further indicated that Archdiocese of Hartford students had a particularly strong grasp of English language arts, as a majority of seventh-grade children received scores that were equivalent to those of an average tenth-grader. |
