In recent years, school districts throughout the United States have used standardized tests as an assessment tool to evaluate student achievement, teacher ability, and administrative success. With these test scores comes the issue of accountability. Students are afraid of failure and not graduating from school, teachers are concerned about job security, and administrators fear the district will lose funding or be put on probation because of low-test scores. Due to the expense of standardized testing, many school districts administer the tests only three or four times within a student’s 12 years of schooling. St. Mary’s Catholic School, which is governed by the Diocese of Steubenville and the State of Ohio, has administered standardized tests yearly for many years. This study investigates the yearly use of standardized tests and how it impacts the teachers’ attitude toward teaching the curriculum. The implications of the results of this survey and questionnaire will be discussed.
