In Spring 2004, students in grades 3, 5, and 8 took Illinois Standards Achievement Tests (ISAT) in reading, mathematics, and writing. Students in grades 4 and 7 took ISAT tests in science and social science. Grade 4 and 7 students also participated in statewide studies in fine arts and physical development and health. ISAT measures the extent to which students are meeting the Illinois Learning Standards (1997). Illinois teachers and curriculum experts developed the ISAT tests in cooperation with the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE). Schools and districts receive a summary report and student roster for each grade tested, Individual Student Reports for each student, and a student data disk for each school or district. Districts also receive a District Summary, which is a roster by grade of the results of all schools in the district. No individual student results are reported for fine arts or physical development and health.
