[LM_NET] Target: Placement tests for Elem. through 8th

[Linda Graham <lindagr@SJCS-SAVANNAHGA.ORG>]

I have tried searching for this info in the archives, but to no avail. 
Does anyone know of or use a general placement test or other evaluation
tool for students coming into an elementary school setting.  We test
grades one through eight using an end-of-book test from the previous year
for math and reading, and we have them do a writing sample.  We are a
Catholic school of about 450, and we need to evaluate incoming students to
see where they are academically when they come in from other schools.  Is
there something else we could be using?  Something maybe more
standardized?
Any input would be appreciated.  If I get anything really good, I'll post
it.  Thanks.
