Overview The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Test for Schools data is comparable to existing Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) scales. The OECD Test for Schools was piloted in 2013 in 105 schools across the US. 247 schools across the US took the assessment in 2014. The age of the student who takes the assessment is 15. Students are selected from a random sample. 64 BHS students took the assessment in February 2014. The international PISA results are published every 3 years and is used as the comparative benchmark.
Overview Students respond to approximately 3 hours of test questions in reading, mathematics and science and answer a 30 minute student questionnaire that is an important part of the assessment. Besides the mean average score, schools receive information about the percentage of students who performed in each of the 6 proficiency levels.
