The Iowa Tests of Basic Skills (ITBS) are given to all students in grades 3-8, and the Iowa Tests of Educational Development are given to all students in grade 11.  These standardized tests are used to compare students’ levels of proficiency at the local, state, and national levels.

Students scoring at the 41st percentile or better on the ITBS and ITED (intermediate or high levels) are considered proficient by Iowa standards.  National level scores showed that 60 percent of students were proficient at each grade level, as compared to Spencer and Iowa’s scores provided in the following attachments.
