The Bell Curve in Education is used to evaluate the students that
are going well in their studies and students that require improvement in some
areas. The bell curve gets its name after the teacher or statistician graphs some
test scores, which results in the shape of the graph resembling a bell. Normal
distribution is a common term used in the statistics and education world that
refers the perfect shape of the curve, with no slant. The higher the middle
arch gets, the more students have gained average scores.
