Five facts about standardized tests should cause educators to rethink their use in decision-making. Standardized tests used for state and federal accountability purposes in PreK–12 public education are not diagnostic. The test results are impacted by family income and student background knowledge. The composition of the tests disadvantage students from poverty, English language learners, and students with an Individualized Education Program.
