Achievement Test Scores

Philosophy

Since the beginning of Jubilee Christian School the philosophical approach to assessment has been one which emphasizes a holistic approach as opposed to a barrage of testing, and in particular standardized testing.

The educational community is still learning and experimenting with how to align instruction with assessment and report the results. At Jubilee we value assessment and consider it during the planning process. Two questions to be considered during this process are:

  • Does this assessment measure what I want to measure?
  • Does this assessment match the learning process in my classroom?
As we consider the kind of assessment we do in the classroom, (one on one assessment, written work, teacher created tests, journals, portfolios, interviews, reports, conferences, observations, Stanford Achievement test, and performance assessment), we see the need for the child to be evaluated in many different ways throughout the school year to determine his progress and achievement. However, it is not always in the best interest of the child to be made to write or color in bubbles to demonstrate what he knows.

Jubilee Christian School admits students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs
