ARTSMART I
TerraNova performance by SES
and years of participation
Ken Adams, Edinboro University

Characteristics of students
To be included in this study of participation in
ARTSMART I, students:
 maintained enrollment in either the same
experimental or control school for three
consecutive years
 had a complete data set
 did not change SES status
 were not identified as special education

Identification of SES


Students who qualified for free/reduced lunch
were aggregated as Low SES

Experimental Site 1:
Experimental Site 2:
Control Site 1:
Control Site 2:

24.5% Low SES
50.0% Low SES
40.4% Low SES
28.1% Low SES

TerraNova Achievement Test


National Percentiles tracked over three consecutive
years for Total Performance
in Reading, Language Arts, Mathematics

0-49th percentile = No Mastery
50-74th percentile = Partial Mastery

75th percentile and above = Mastery

TerraNova and PSSA


Correlational studies reveal a highly significant
relationship between TerraNova and PSSA
performance



Test banks have been shared between
