This concise study gathers 108 fourth- to seventh-graders from a Peabody Demonstration School to examine how achievement, accuracy, and standing in class relate. It presents a careful look at different abilities, how they’re distributed, and how teachers’ judgments align with actual performance. The material offers a snapshot of early research on testing, measurement, and school organization from the early 20th century.

- See how different groups within a grade compare to the grade as a whole and to other grades.
