Testing and Assessment
The assessment of student progress is an essential component of our educational program. The state standards in each of the content areas form the backbone of our expectations for student learning. We look at both state tests and classroom assessments to make decisions about student progress. Below is a link to information about the state assessments. Even more important are the classroom assessments which teachers use on a regular basis to inform instruction. We encourage parents and guardians to communicate with your child’s teacher to discuss the results of student assessments.
Why do students take these tests? The results will identify where your child is doing well or needs more help, so you can better support their learning at home and teachers can better support their learning in the classroom.
