Stanford 10 Abbreviated

• 2004 Test Scores
• 2003 Test Scores

The Stanford 10 Abbreviated gives educators objective, valid evidence of what students know and are able to do and helps them make data-driven decisions. Reports were designed with input from administrators and teachers across the country. Parents better understand their child’s achievement level and get direction for home involvement. Administrators obtain data to document and monitor the progress of all children and to disaggregate results according to federal mandates.

The Stanford 10 Abbreviated questions at each level are carefully designed to mirror as closely as possible the developmental process of good instruction and the kinds of instructional activities and materials used in exemplary programs.

The Stanford 10 is the basic platform for South Dakota’s Dakota State Test of Educational Progress or Dakota STEP. The Stanford 10 Abbreviated was augmented to fully assess South Dakota Content Standards in reading and mathematics as required by No Child Left Behind. See the Dakota STEP webpage for more information about this specific assessment.
