Abstract
The Wide Range Achievement Test (WRAT) is widely used to assess school achievement. The present investigation examined the stability of WRAT scores in 50 adolescent psychiatric inpatients. Comparisons were made between testing results near admission and immediately prior to discharge. The results supported the WRAT as a stable measure of school achievement in an inpatient adolescent population across time and diagnoses.Keywords
