:: Don't forget to include the total number of students in your data.  For example, looking at the [http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_downloads/highered/ra/sat/SubjTestPercentileRanks.pdf 06/07 scores], a 600 on the SAT II US History exam is the 46th percentile.  To get a sense of whether ten students scoring above 600 is a good thing, the reviewer will want to know the total number of students taking the exam.  You might also want to mention how many students scored in the top quartile (above 700), and the bottom quartile (below 520).  (I'd provide quartile or percentile information rather than, or in addition to, a raw score.)  You'll also want to provide a sense of what kind of students you've been working with - how many were remedial students, average students, and high achievers before they began your class - to show that your results were, ideally, higher than expected.  Remember they want to see how you have ''improved'' the student's academic achievement.  This is an ambitious project and I'm impressed you're taking it on.  Do you plan on doing one-on-one tutoring, or offering after-school remedial classes, or just letting the remedial kids take your regular classes?  Either way, you've got a lot of work to do - the standards compliance part alone is going to be a challenge, let alone the rest of the application - good luck!
