Relationships between McCarthy Scales of children's abilities and teachers' ratings of school achievement.
This study investigated how well the McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities correlated with teachers' ratings of children's academic achievement. The McCarthy Scales are useful in predicting school achievement of normal children, but more research is needed with learning disabled students. The use of teachers' rating scale with children of low functioning was discussed in light of the recent Larry P. decision.
