More precisely, the statute refers to "diagnostic reports," not "diagnostic tests," Sec 1111 (3) c (xii):

(xii) produce individual student interpretive, descriptive, and diagnostic reports, consistent with clause (iii) that allow parents, teachers, and principals to understand and address the specific academic needs of students, and include information regarding achievement on academic assessments aligned with State academic achievement standards, and that are provided to parents, teachers, and principals, as soon as is practicably possible after the assessment is given, in an understandable and uniform format, and to the extent practicable, in a language that parents can understand;

Diagnostic for the kid?  How can any grade level test be diagnostic, if the
kid has moved on to another teacher or in many cases another school
(especially in the cases of the neediest of our children) by the time the
"scores" are returned from Arizona?

Good grief!  I'm headed for another piece of carrot cake.  Anyone want to
join me?
