The Archdiocese of Baltimore includes ITBS data as part of its overall measurement of how schools and students are performing; including students applying to archdiocesan schools high schools. All diocesan students take the ITBS test in the 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th grades. Areas evaluated are: Reading, Language, and Math.
