Waverly's TAKS Results
This week, Waverly received her Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) tests results back. Her results last year allowed her the opportunity to take the ACT through the Duke Talent ID program.
She met the standard in Reading, Mathematics and Writing and her performance in the Mathematics and Writing were commended. (In Math, she missed just one of 48 items. In the Writing, she got 37 of 40 answers right and her written composition scored a 3 out of a possible 4 -- meaning "generally effective".)
I looked at the statewide results out of curiousity. [I am pulling numbers from the section marked, "All Students Not In Special Education."]
88 percent met the standard in Reading while 80 and 93 percent of the students met the standard in Mathematics and Writing, respectively. The commended numbers were 32, 20 and 35 percent for each category.
74 percent students met the standard on all three sections while just 20 percent of seventh graders were commended on two tests (like Waverly).
The girls outperformed the boys as the young ladies met the standard 90 percent (Reading), 80 percent (Mathematics) and 96 percent (Writing). The boys were 86, 79 and 90, respectively.
Asian students were the highest performers with percentage standards of 96, 95 and 98, while Caucasian students followed with percentage scores of 95, 90 and 96 percent in the three subjects.
