Prospective Families

Each spring students at Nativity of Mary School take the Iowa Assessments (formerly known as the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills). The Iowa Assessments were designed and developed to measure student achievement and growth in valid and reliable ways. One measurement on the test is the Grade Level Equivalency Score. This is a score that describes a student’s achievement on a grade level scale. The grade level is a decimal number that describes academic performance in terms of grade level and month. For example, if a student (as a 3rd grade student) receives a score of 4.2 on the third grade Reading Test, this means the student scored as well as a fourth grade student in the second month of the school year if given the same third grade Reading Test. 

The 2017-18 Grade Level Equivalency Scores for Nativity of Mary School are as follows:

3rd Grade- 4.3

4th Grade- 5.4

5th Grade- 6.4

6th Grade- 7.7

7th Grade- 9.2

8th Grade- 13.0
