How does `Aikahi Elementary compare to other Military Impacted Schools on the Island?
Recently we were provided data by Joint Ventures Education Forum (JVEF) that compared academic scores of students in military impacted schools on the island. I am pleased to announce that Aikahi’s students ranked Number one in their Terra Nova Scores for both math and reading. Terra Nova is extensively researched for its validity and accuracy. It is a standardized norm-referenced achievement test that compares students' scores to scores from a "norm group." The norm group for Terra Nova is a national sample of students representing all gender, racial, economic, and geographic groups. The Department of Defense Education Activity, an agency that oversees military impacted schools, uses the Terra Nova assessment to measure students’ progress in math and reading. Now for the good news: In reading 91% of our students scored in the average and or the above average range. In Math 93% of our students scored in the average and or the above average range.
