SUMMARY
A norm can be thought of as the characterization of the typicality of a measured attribute in a specific group or population
Normal performance refers to what scores are typically observed on an assessment by students in different grades.

Percentiles provide a way for teachers to know which scores are below, average, or above expectations for each grade level. Percentile ranks group the scores in relation to the number of students whose scores were similar or different to other students. Percentile ranks range from 1% to 99% and can be used to understand what scores are typical — or average — for students in each grade
Such information would help the teacher to know how far below average the score is. The teacher could also identify how many points the student needs to gain in order to reach the average range of scores.
In any class there will always be a range of student abilities and scores. If teachers can learn how each student’s score compares to the test norms, they can develop instruction that matches each student’s learning needs.
It is important to note that test norms can be used to identify both lower-achieving and higher-achieving students. In some classes, there might be many students who are well above the average score. In such cases, the teacher needs to develop lessons that help students advance to even higher levels.
