Students at Covenant Christian Academy knocked it out of the park on the ITBS test again.  Each spring CCA administers the Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS). This exam helps administrators evaluate the effectiveness of their curriculum and teaching methods. Judging from the scores, they’re doing something right. 

 

The academy’s 2010 ITBS national percentile rankings are:

 

Kindergarten 99th percentile

1st grade 86th percentile

2nd grade 78th percentile

3rd grade 69th percentile

4th grade 92nd percentile

6th grade 99th percentile

8th grade 99th percentile

 

Kindergarten, sixth grade and eight grade classes at CCA scored in the top 1 percent in the nation compared to other schools taking the ITBS this spring. The school attributes the scores to several factors — small class sizes, dedicated teachers, and teamwork with parents.
