Most schools post somewhere online or on campus just how many people in your daughter's school pass these tests. If not, they should be able to tell you. If lots of kids are not passing, that gives you more info and ammo.

If you get too much run around, write/call the government agency that oversees schools in your state. For instance, in Missouri, it is DESE, the Department of elementary and Secondary Education. They look into complaints and can be very helpful with statistics, alternatives.

I don't know if you or the school had to pay to take this, but tests are VERY BIG business to the companies that give them. In other words, not always indicative of anything other than how well one takes tests.
