Across virtually every grade level (K-12) and subject, Alpha District’s average student is scoring better than 99% of individual students nationwide.
Mathematics: The “Crown Jewel”
Alpha’s math scores are the most significant outlier. In typical high-performing schools, growth slows as students reach older grades due to the “ceiling effect” (running out of test material). Alpha students, however, are showing accelerating growth even at the highest levels.
- Kindergarten: Mean RIT 177.2 (99th %ile). For context, the national norm for a 3rd grader in the fall is ~188. Alpha Kindergartners are performing nearly at a 3rd-grade level.
- Grade 5: Mean RIT 229.6 (98th %ile). This score is already higher than the national average for an 11th grader (norm ~226).
- Grade 11: Mean RIT 278.3 (99th %ile). This is an astronomical score. The typical “college readiness” benchmark is ~236. Alpha’s average is 42 points higher than the college-ready standard.
Reading & Language: Consistent Mastery
- Reading: Every single grade level from K-12 posted a mean RIT score at the 99th percentile.
- Grade 11 Reading: Mean RIT 245.8. This projects to a level of verbal complexity found in post-graduate coursework.
- Language Usage: Consistent 99th percentile performance from Grade 2 through Grade 11, indicating mastery of complex grammar and writing mechanics far above grade level.
