The “Blue Ribbon Scaled Score/Percentage Needed” column refers to the Federal Department of Education’s award (The Blue Ribbon Award) which is given to schools that have each grade level tested in the school in the top 10% in the Nation. The scaled score or percentage in the Blue Ribbon column is the number needed for that grade level to be considered in the top 10% in the nation in either Reading or Math. You can look at the GCS column to see how that grade level matches up to the national average needed to be considered top 10%.
Scaled Score Definition: (more accurate)
There are two types of test scores: raw scores and scaled scores. A raw score is a score without any sort of adjustment or transformation, such as the simple number of questions answered correctly. A scaled score is the results of some transformation applied to the raw score.
The purpose of scaled scores is to report scores for all examinees on a consistent scale. Suppose that a test has two forms, and one is more difficult than the other. It has been determined by equating that a score of 65% on form 1 is equivalent to a score of 68% on form 2. Scores on both forms can be converted to a scale so that these two equivalent scores have the same reported scores. For example, they could both be a score of 350 on a scale of 100 to 500.
Scaled score (SS) is useful for comparing student performance over time and across grades. A scaled score is calculated based on the difficulty of questions and the number of correct responses. Because the same range is used for all students, scaled scores can be used to compare student performance across grade levels.
