Our Students
The Wisconsin Reading and Comprehension Test is administered to third graders statewide every spring. Based on their test performance, students are rated as Minimal, Basic, Proficient or Advanced. The graph below illustrates our students’ consistent performance well above the state and local averages.

The Iowa Basic Skills Test is taken by 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th graders every March. The test covers reading, social studies, science and math. Based on the results of all CCA students, a “grade equivalent” composite is determined. This score indicates the grade level of our average student’s general knowledge.

How to read the results:
Percentile Scale is 0 to 100%

The Grade Equivalent Average Composite shows, for example that our average first grader has a reading/knowledge level of an average second grader in their fourth month of school.
