Abstract
The 1999-00 Preliminary North Carolina State Testing Results
Grade 3 Pretest, End-of-Grade, High School Comprehensive, and End-of Course MultipleChoice Tests
Background
Grade 3 Pretest
Findings
•
Initially implemented during the 1996-97 school year, the North Carolina
Pretest-Grade 3 is a multiple-choice reading and mathematics test
administered to students during the first three weeks of the third grade.
Student scores on this test are used to measure student growth in
performance when compared to the end-of-grade test results at the end of
the third grade year in the areas of reading and mathematics. The pretest at
grade 3 measures the knowledge and skills specified for grade 2 from the
reading and mathematics goals and objectives of the North Carolina
Standard Course of Study. The pretest was administered to more than
102,000 students in the beginning of the 1999-00 school year.
•
Beginning in the 1992-93 school year, the North Carolina State Board of
Education authorized administration of North Carolina-developed end-ofgrade tests aligned with the Standard Course of Study. These statenormed tests were administered to over 577,000 students in grades 3
through 8 during the last three weeks of the 1999-00 school year.
•
The North Carolina High School Comprehensive Test in reading and
mathematics was first administered in 1997-98 to all students in grade 10. It
assesses the English Language Arts and Mathematics competencies the
typical student should master by the end of grade 10. The test is used to
measure student growth in achievement in reading and mathematics since
completion of grade 8. It was administered to more than 76,000 students
in the last three weeks of April 2000.
•
End-of-course tests measure achievement on curricular goals and
objectives with an emphasis on higher-order thinking skills. Multiple choice
tests were administered in Algebra I; Algebra II; Biology; Chemistry;
Economic, Legal, and Political Systems (ELPS); English I; Geometry;
Physical Science; Physics and U.S. History to over 650,000 students within
the last two weeks of instruction during the 1999-00 school year. Results
from the English II End-of-Course test, a writing assessment, are reported
in The Report of Student Performance in Writing.
•
Achievement Level III or Above. These preliminary results show that
69.8 percent of students entering third grade scored at or above
Achievement Level III on the reading pretest while 76.9 percent scored at
or above Achievement Level III on the mathematics pretest. The percent
of students scoring at or above Achievement Level III on the grade 3
reading pretest in 1999-00 increased 2.3 percentage points from 1998-99.
The percent of students scoring at or above Achievement Level III on the
grade 3 mathematics pretest in 1999-00 increased 1.9 percentage points
from 1998-99.
End-of-Grade
Findings
•
Mean Scale Scores. In these preliminary data, the grade 3 reading pretest
mean scale score increased from 138.1 in 1998-99 to 138.7 in 1999-00.
•
Gender. Preliminary data shows that a higher percentage of females than
males performed at Achievement Level III or above in the grade 3 reading
pretest and the grade 3 mathematics pretest.
•
Ethnicity. Disparities in performance among subgroups were noted in
these preliminary results. In reading, the American Indian (56.8%), Black
(57.4%), and Hispanic (57.4%) subgroups had lower percentages
performing at Achievement Level III or above than the Multi-Racial
(72.8%), Asian (72.9%) and White (77.0%) subgroups in these preliminary
data. In mathematics, the Black (64.4%), American Indian (64.8%), and
Hispanic (70.4%) subgroups had lower percentages performing at
Achievement Level III or above than the Multi-Racial (79.4%), White
(83.8%), and Asian (84.3%) subgroups in these preliminary data.
•
Achievement Level III or Above. Preliminary data from 1999-00 suggest
the percentage of students in grades 3-8 performing at Achievement Level
III and above in both reading and mathematics continues to increase, from
52.9 percent in 1992-93 to an estimated 69.8 percent in 1999-00.
•
Mean Scale Scores. In these preliminary data, mean scale scores for
reading increased from 1998-99 to 1999-00 at every grade level except 6
and 7. Preliminary mean scale scores for mathematics increased at every
grade level.
•
Gender. Preliminary data shows that in 1999-00, a higher percentage of
females (72.9%) than males (66.7%) scored at or above Achievement
Level III in both reading and mathematics in grades 3-8 combined.
•
Ethnicity. Disparities in performance were present among subgroups in
these preliminary data. The Black (49.4%), American Indian (56.3%), and
Hispanic (56.6%) subgroups had lower percentages performing at
Achievement Level III or above in both reading and mathematics in grades
3-8 combined than the Multi-Racial (71.0%), Asian (77.0%) and White
(80.1%) subgroups in these preliminary data.

Introduction
The 1999-00 North Carolina State Testing Results document provides information on student
performance at the state, regional, and school system levels on the following multiple-choice tests
administered as components of the 1999-00 North Carolina Testing Program: grade 3 pretest
(reading and mathematics), end-of-grade tests (grades 3-8 in reading and mathematics), high school
comprehensive test (grade 10 in reading and mathematics), and end-of-course tests (high school
subjects). The figures and tables in this document were generated using student test data from the
grade 3 pretest fall 1999 test administration; the end-of-grade spring 2000 test administration; the
high school comprehensive spring 2000 test administration; and the end-of-course summer 1999,
fall 1999, and spring 2000 test administrations. These test data were generated from raw data files
provided by each local education agency (LEA), including charter schools (Some minor duplication
for end-of-course test data can occur when students re-take courses and, therefore, are required to
re-take the test). Test data were reconciled with school systems’ test data through June 30, 2000
(the cutoff for the 1999-00 school year reporting.)
The general focus of the State Testing Results is on student performance on multiple-choice tests
administered during the 1999-00 school year. However, many data are reported across years in
order to show gains in student performance. Student performance and growth are the key
components of the State Board of Education’s ABCs of Public Education school-level
accountability program. School-level accountability results are found in the State Report Card,
which is published annually.
State and system-level results contained within this document may be used to make grade-to-grade,
subject-to-subject, and year-to-year comparisons. In addition, comparisons of developmental
scale scores of cohort groups as they move through grades 3-8 in reading and mathematics can be
made. A variety of statistical descriptions, test scores, and formats have been used to present the
aggregate student data. Mean scores, the percent of students identified at the four achievement
levels, and the percent of students identified as Achievement Level III or above on the grade 3
pretest, end-of-grade tests in grades 3-8, the high school comprehensive test, or end-of-course
tests are also presented. Information in this document may be used as a reference for school
systems and schools interested in making similar comparisons, analyses, and reports.
In addition to the summary statistics, this document contains disaggregated test results for subgroups
for the grade 3 pretest, end-of-grade tests, high school comprehensive test, and end-of-course
multiple-choice tests. The state-level goal summary reports serve as a curriculum reference of
student performance on the curriculum goals across grades and subjects. These results represent
average student performance on the curriculum competencies measured in the revised North
Carolina Standard Course of Study. The frequency distributions provide state-level summary
statistics for 1999-00.
End-of-course testing began as a part of the North Carolina Testing Program in 1985-86 with the
first Algebra I administration. Other high school subject tests were added over time until 1994-95
when the program included eleven tests: Algebra I; Algebra II; Biology; Chemistry; Economic,
Legal, and Political Systems (ELPS); English I; English II; Geometry; Physical Science; Physics; and
U.S. History. In 1995-96 under the ABCs plan to reorganize public education in North Carolina,
the testing program was reduced to include end-of-course tests in the areas of Algebra I, Biology,
x
ELPS, English I, and U.S. History. For the 1999-00 school year, the following eleven end-ofcourse tests were mandated: Algebra I; Algebra II; Biology; Chemistry; Economic, Legal, and
Political Systems (ELPS); English I; English II; Geometry; Physical Science; Physics; and U.S.
History.
Curriculum-based end-of-grade testing was implemented initially in 1992-93 when more challenging
assessment strategies replaced the California Achievement Tests (1978-92). During the 1999-00
school year, end-of-grade tests administered as a component of the statewide accountability
program included reading and mathematics multiple-choice tests in grades 3 through 8.
The administration of the North Carolina Pretest-Grade 3 began in 1996-97. The High School
Comprehensive Test began as a part of the North Carolina Testing Program in 1997-98.
The purpose of this publication is to provide a longitudinal, comprehensive compendium of test
results from grade 3 pretest, end-of-grade tests in grades 3-8, high school comprehensive test, and
end-of-course multiple-choice tests from 1991 to 2000 with a focus on reporting the performance
for the 1999-00 school year. As the public schools of North Carolina continue to implement the
ABCs of public education, the State Testing Results, using descriptive statistics, documents student
performance and provides the reader an opportunity to develop an overall perspective on absolute
student achievement in North Carolina.

Students performing at Achievement Level I do not have
sufficient mastery of knowledge and skills in the subject area
to be successful at the next grade level.
Level II
Students performing at Achievement Level II demonstrate
inconsistent mastery of knowledge and skills in the subject area
and are minimally prepared to be successful at the next grade level.
23
Level III
Students performing at Achievement Level III consistently
demonstrate mastery of the grade level subject matter and skills
and are well-prepared for the next grade level.
Level IV
Students performing at Achievement Level IV consistently
perform in a superior manner clearly beyond that required to be
proficient at grade level work.
Notes: Percents are rounded to the nearest tenth.
Due to rounding, data for some grades in certain years may not add to 100%.

Percent for "Not Exceptional" through "Other Exceptional Classifications" is based on the sum of the students in those categories.
2
Percent for "Section 504" through "Migrant" is based on the number tested in the "All Students" category.
The standard for grade-level proficiency is a test score at Level III or above on end-of-grade tests in reading and mathematics.
The "All Students" and "Not Exceptional" categories are shown for the purpose of comparison.
"Not Exceptional", "Academically Gifted", and "Students with Disabilities" do not sum to "All Students" because some students did
not indicate whether or not they were classified exceptional.
All data rounded to the nearest tenth, therefore exceptional categories may not sum to 100%.
"Number Tested" is the number of students who took the end-of-grade test in reading.
Data received from LEAs after July 25, 2000 are not included in this table.

Notes: *No scores are reported for groups with fewer than thirty students.
1
Percent for "Not Exceptional" through "Other Exceptional Classifications" is based on the sum of the students in those categories.
2
Percent for "Section 504" through "Migrant" is based on the number tested in the "All Students" category.
The standard for grade-level proficiency is a test score at Level III or above on end-of-grade tests in reading and mathematics.
The "All Students" and "Not Exceptional" categories are shown for the purpose of comparison.
"Not Exceptional", "Academically Gifted", and "Students with Disabilities" do not sum to "All Students" because some students did
not indicate whether or not they were classified exceptional.
All data rounded to the nearest tenth, therefore exceptional categories may not sum to 100%.
"Number Tested" is the number of students who took the end-of-grade test in reading.
Data received from LEAs after July 25, 2000 are not included in this table.

Notes: *No scores are reported for groups with fewer than thirty students.
1
Percent for "Not Exceptional" through "Other Exceptional Classifications" is based on the sum of the students in those categories.
2
Percent for "Section 504" through "Migrant" is based on the number tested in the "All Students" category.
The standard for grade-level proficiency is a test score at Level III or above on end-of-grade tests in reading and mathematics.
The "All Students" and "Not Exceptional" categories are shown for the purpose of comparison.
"Not Exceptional", "Academically Gifted", and "Students with Disabilities" do not sum to "All Students" because some students did
not indicate whether or not they were classified exceptional.
All data rounded to the nearest tenth, therefore exceptional categories may not sum to 100%.
"Number Tested" is the number of students who took the end-of-grade test in reading.
Data received from LEAs after July 25, 2000 are not included in this table.

Notes: The year of implementation is listed below the subject. Beginning in 1993-94, where possible, scores for the entire accountability year are reported. The 1995-96 data are based on all cycles of testing
for the July 1 to June 30 accountability year . Algebra I was scaled in 1993-94, and U.S. History, English I, and Biology in 1994-95 and 1995-96. Bold vertical lines between years indicate that the scores
changed from mean raw core scores to mean scale scores and therefore, are not comparable across years separated by the bold vertical lines. Numbers to the left of these lines are mean raw core scores
and numbers to the right are mean scale scores. From 1995-96 to 1997-98, five tests were administered statewide in the five high school subject areas. Other end-of-course multiple-choice tests were administered
as a local option and are not depicted in this report. Beginning in 1998-99, the ten tests in the table above were mandated statewide. Data for 1995-96 through 1997-98 are not available for Algebra II, Chemistry, Geometry,
Physical Science, and Physics as these tests were not mandated during this period.
1
Participation Index is the number of students enrolled in the course, divided by the number of students who were in the eighth grade the year in which typical students in the course were in grade eight.
For example, since English I is typically a ninth-grade course, the eighth grade membership for the previous year is the denominator.
2
The Algebra I score in 1993-94 and the Biology, English I, and U.S. History scores in 1994-95 are the mean scale scores.
3
Average core score is the mean raw score on the common items for all students.
Data received from LEAs after July 25, 2000 are not included in this table.
