"It is possible to say that when SCreS are viewed along with ACT and Advanced Placement re-sults, a rather clear picture emerges: Alpine students perform better academically than their national peers." Cameron sid the average total SBS score increased two to three percentile from 1987 to 1988 in the elementary grades. During the same time, the average score de-clined one to three percentile in the secondary grades. Although test scores are only one indication of a student's scho-lastic performance, Cameron urged parents to review standard-ized test data periodically. District officials said if parents have not seen their student's scores recently, they should call the school and make an appointment to do so. Any questions concerning the testing program in the district should be directed to Cameron at district offices in American Fork, 756-846- Percentage of Above-Averag- e Students 1 988 SBS Composite Percentiles go 70 60 I j p P p p p Grade 1 Grade 3 Grade 5 Grade 7 Grade 9 Grade 11 Alpine U.S. Comunity center plans few Year's Eve bash ftePleasant Grove Community Center will sponsor New Year's jveentertainment beginning with ; imagician at 7 p.m. and continuing L?t; fith other events that evening. m'.1 Magician Kerry Summers will nil jppear at 7 p.m. with a full pro-m- m of tricks and illusions.
