Each spring the Comprehensive Tests of Basic Skills (CTBS) battery is administered to students throughout New Mexico as part of the State Department of Education mandated assessment program. This report contains information regarding 1987 test results for Albuquerque Public School (APS) students in grades 3, 5, and 8 on the CTBS, a standardized, norm-referenced test. Throughout this report various types of test results are presented that provide data for the modification of the instructional program of the APS. Data for the past 3 years as well as data from a longitudinal study of matched, intact groups of students are presented. Areas tested include reading, spelling, mathematics, language skills, reference skills, science, and social studies. Results indicate that: (1) test scores for each grade level of APS students are better than scores of students in the national norming population for almost every content area; (2) APS students generally score in the higher percentile ranges on most subtests; and (3) school by school data provide insights into students in various comparison groups and student attendance and stability rates for each school. Seven data tables and eight graphs conclude the document. (TJH)
