Emmanuel Lutheran School ’s students in grades 3 – 8 take the TerraNova norm-referenced tests each Fall.

Norm-Referenced Scores come from a standardized assessment and compare a student or group of students with a specified reference group, usually others of the same grade and age. 

A National Percentile (NP) is the percentage of students in a norm group whose scores fall below a given student’s score. For example, a student scored equal to or above 65% of students nationwide in Read. National Percentiles of 25 – 75 are considered to be in the average range, and thus the student's achievement in the example above can be interpreted to be in the upper end of the average range.
