Testing & Assessment

Assessing student academic performance is one measure of determining what has been learned and how well the curriculum is serving the needs of each child. Students in all grades are assessed using multiple measures such as teacher tests, informed reading tests and other performance-based measures.  Students will be given every opportunity to demonstrate competency and be successful in all areas.
