Not given this much thought, but -
For a school - I think I would use standardized testing plus things like graduation rate, college rate, number of students taking subjects not covered in the testing (languages, programming, music, etc)
For an individual student - at the low end (the poorer students) I guess I would use standardized testing, at the high end (the better students) I'm not sure - standardized testing sure, but then whether the kids gets into Harvard or U of State seems like just degrees of excellence, seems to me that the govt (fed or state) should worry about whether kids are doing "bad" vs "good", and let the kid/parent worry about doing "great" vs "good".
