Convert OAKS test results to percentiles

If you received your child’s OAKS test scores in the mail last week, you may be wondering what those raw scores mean. The Oregon Department of Education posts conversion tables that let you convert a raw score (say, 232 in reading) to a percentile (80 percent), so you can better understand how well your child demonstrated his or her knowledge in comparison to other Oregon students.

To download the complete Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, click this link. Click a tab at the bottom of the spreadsheet to select Reading or Math scores. The scores are organized by grade, so make sure to scroll down until you see right one in the Grade column.

The 2013-2014 school year was Oregon students’ last with the OAKS tests. This year, they will take the new Smarter Balanced Assessment.
