School Test Scores Gain in All Subjects Except Social Studies

Elementary school students in Los Angeles County, like their counterparts throughout the state, generally improved on the basic skills test administered by the state last spring.

As a group, third-, sixth- and eighth-graders gained in reading, writing and mathematics, according to recently released results of the California Assessment Program (CAP) test.

The only significant drop from last year’s scores was in eighth-grade social science, which fell an average of 7 points statewide. Although educators expressed some concern about the social-studies slump, they were heartened by the overall improved performance of eighth-graders. Last year eighth-grade CAP scores fell in reading, writing and math.

“I was quite pleased, except for the drop in history,” Patrick McCabe, a consultant to the state testing program, said of this year’s scores. “There seemed to be an increase across all demographics. It isn’t just a case of the rich getting richer. All (socioeconomic) groups seemed to be moving up. That isn’t always the case, and it’s very reassuring.”

Of the four districts that operate elementary or middle schools on the Westside, only the Los Angeles Unified School District mimicked the statewide pattern of overall gains in all categories except social studies. Scores in other Westside districts rose or fell in ways their administrators were often hard pressed to explain.

Again this year, Beverly Hills Unified schools had the highest average scores on the Westside. But Beverly Hills scores dropped from last year in every category at all three grade levels except sixth-grade writing, which showed a 5-point gain.

Beverly Hills administrator Carol Katzman speculated that the dip in the district’s scores reflects a changing student population.

“The homogeneity that once existed in Beverly Hills is no more,” said Katzman, director of elementary educational services for the district. “We have increasing numbers of new students coming to us with different levels of preparation--not just foreign students, but students from other parts of the country and even other schools.”

In the Culver City Unified School District, third-grade scores fell while eighth-grade scores rose as much as 13 points (in reading). In the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District third- and sixth-graders showed gains of up to 20 points while eighth-graders slipped on every test except reading, which inched up 2 points.

McCabe, the state consultant, cautioned against reading too much into the statewide drop in social studies, which was included on the eighth-grade CAP test for the first time in 1984-85.

“The second year a test is given the scores almost always go down,” McCabe said. “There must be a lot of enthusiasm the first year and then that appears to drop off. We can’t explain it any other way.”

McCabe said he would not be surprised if next year’s science scores drop. Science questions were included on the eighth-grade test for the first time this year.

Dr. Peter Kneedler, a research and evaluation consultant with the CAP program in Sacramento, said that state educators believe social science is an area of genuine weakness in the curriculum of most schools.

The CAP test includes questions in several social-science areas, including history, geography and government, Kneedler said. “The areas where we are really hurting painfully are geography and world history,” he said. “Performance in these areas is equally dismal and of great concern to the people who built the test.”

Kneedler speculated that geography and world history are not being taught as effectively in California schools as American history, citizenship and other social science topics. However, the state is aware of the need to improve instruction in these areas, he said.

“The very fact that it’s being tested serves to focus (educators’) attention on it,” Kneedler said of the social science curriculum. The state Department of Education will begin developing social science questions for sixth-graders next year, he said.

Some local administrators attributed gains in their schools’ scores to new programs. Carmenita Junior High School in Cerritos jumped 55 points in reading over last year. According to ABC Unified School District official Tom Martin, Carmenita students had special in-class reading time to polish skills tested on the exam. They were also “pre-rewarded” for their anticipated success on the test with a special CAP dance.

Bill Langton, principal of Carver Elementary School in San Marino, attributed his third-graders’ 43-point gain in reading to a computer-based program that teaches children how to analyze what they read.

Other administrators were baffled by fluctuations in their school’s performance.

Gerald Evans, principal of Dapplegray Intermediate School on the Palos Verdes Peninsula, is at a loss to explain why eighth-grade scores tumbled 6 to 25 points this year. “We haven’t changed our curriculum; we haven’t changed our methods,” Evans said.

Some variations in scores may reflect nothing more than the nature of statistics and of the CAP test itself, several observers said.

For example, Palos Verdes Peninsula administrator Lynn Winters said Dapplegray’s drop may be related to its excellent performance last year.

“The school only had one way to go--down,” said Winters, who is the director of research for the South Bay district. “If you are getting very high or very low scores, the next time you take the test you’re likely to have a less extreme score.”

In statistics, that tendency is called “regression to the mean,” she said.

Winters and others also noted that the CAP test is useful in providing information about statewide trends and the performance of large groups of people, notably the million California grade-school children who take the test each year. But it is much less precise in characterizing a particular school or classroom.

“To look at a score of 283 and say, ‘We’re just terrific,’ or ‘We’re lousy,’ is just not realistic,” said Bill Turner, testing consultant for the office of the Los Angeles County superintendent of schools.

As Turner explained, the CAP test is what is called a “matrix test.”

Each sixth-grader taking it receives one of 40 different versions of the exam, each containing 31 questions chosen from among more than 1,000 options. Especially when small groups take the test, questions on a particular specialty such as geometry or vocabulary may appear on only one child’s exam. As a consequence, Turner said, “it may appear that nobody in the sixth grade knows any geometry because Billy Smith missed that item.”

Turner advised against giving the scores too much weight. They are not a precise measure of academic achievement, he said.

“Nobody wants to hear it but we have no yardstick that says this child is 3 feet 8 inches tall, academically,” Turner said.

How to Read the Scores

This is how to read results of the California Assessment Program tests:

Third, sixth and eighth grades: Schools are listed alphabetically by district. Test results are scaled between 100 and over 400. Scores from individual schools may be compared with district and state averages. For example, if the third grade at your school scored 254 in reading, but the district reading average is 229, children are scoring better than at other schools in the district. However, if the state average is 280, children at the local school would be scoring below the average of those at schools statewide.

Dashes indicate that tests were not given or that scores were unavailable.
