Why aren't standardized test scores put more on the students (incentivized)?

Here is my rant about standardized testing since our district is scoring lower overall on STAR and PSAT. Why are not more incentives put on students to pass these exams? Why does it go to the teacher if they are the ones not passing? The whole system needs revamping, with adequate practice skills and sites, and what not for students to do well. If students are not penalized for not doing well, they are not going to care as much. I mean a pizza party, free prom ticket, or a free day is nice for students but that is not enough in my opinion.
