Ninth grade test validity debated after mixed results
Last year ninth graders took the SRA Test in October, showing a composite minus 1.4 and weak reading math language science and social studies scores. Jim Jordan questioned its relevance, noting the score contrast with the Texas Assessment of Basic Skills which shows ninth graders above state average in most areas. He cited fractions, ratio and capitalization as weak points and urged focus on reading and idea organization.
