IOWA TEST OF BASIC SKILLS RESULTS '09-'10 COMPARISONS
BASED ON NATIONAL PERCENTILES
The Iowa Test of Basic Skills is given to all St. Matthew students in grades 2-8 in the fall of the year.  This test was normed in public and private schools across the nation. The following scores are
grade-level average percentiles. Comparisons have been made with the Catholic schools in the
Peoria Diocese. Comparisons can not be made with the Champaign Public Schools,
as the Illinois-produced ISAT test is a test of mastery, not achievement.

The average St. Matthew student scores above 75 percent of students nationally.
