The Criterion Referenced Competency Tests (C.R.C.T.) are designed to measure a student's understanding of the current year of academic studies. These tests provide information on whether or not the student has mastered an adequate amount of academic material in order to be successful at the next level. If a student does not have an adequate understanding of the current grade level studies, then it is assumed that the student will not be successful at the following academic grade level. In fact, it is predicted that the student will fall even further behind.

The Performance Levels are as follows :

• Level I = below 800 (Does Not Meet)
• Level 2 = at or above 800 but below 850 (Meets)
• Level 3 = at or above 850 (Exceeds)
