I think there is one more factor (which people might have overlooked) that might affect the overall results.
I know that quite some schools are taking part in this test --- including both local and international schools. Many schools are releasing the results out, showing the ranks/grades and percentages, etc.
However, most schools have/do not mentioned anything about the which year levels of assessments their students are taking part in.
I know that one school (I do not want to disclose the name) asked their students to take part in assessments for grades/year levels that are one year behind their actual grades. For example, a Grade 3 student might merely be taking part in a Grade 2 assessment. Some schools are, however, more honest, and are taking part in the assessment of the actual grade.
Of course, we agree that because of the differences in the time frames of the school year (their school year starts in January down under). I have heard that because there is such an "excuse", one school has asked their Grade 5 students to take a Grade 3 assessment.
So it is quite unfair to say that the results are that bad. And it would be quite unfair too, if those results are compared to results of another school, without knowing what year level of assessments the schools are taking part in.
If we are talking about SIS, whether you like the school or not, I would have thought that this school is decent enough and would not play tricks with their results.
PS I am totally unrelated with SIS, in case some people are interested. I am not trying to defend any school but would like people to think twice before deciding how you want to decode those results. |
