Testing Results


Independent schools across the country administer the Comprehensive Testing Program 4 (CTP 4).  The assessment was developed by the Educational Testing Service (ETS) to serve the needs of high achieving students and schools that aspire to higher standards.  The CTP 4 is a rigorous test battery designed to provide instructionally useful information about student performance in the key areas of school achievement: listening, reading, vocabulary, writing, and mathematics.  In addition, the CTP 4 includes two tests to measure verbal and quantitative reasoning.

Students at Kline, take the recently released online version (CTP Online).  It is administered mid-year to better understand learning styles and assess student progress. Parents can see quantitative results of both their child's performance and teachers' competencies.  The Individual Instructional Summary facilitates short and long term program planning.


Schoolwide Performance 
 
In general, about 60% of Kline School students scored in the high achiever to superior range (70-99%).   That is to say better than half of Kline School students scored significantly higher than students of the same age across the nation. These results quantify the success of Kline School’s Program, and strongly support our belief that the learning environment found at Kline School is highly conducive to exceptional academic performance.
