Standardized Testing
Standardized tests are computer-based and assess a student’s instructional level to measure academic growth throughout the school year in four areas: reading, math, language, and science. The testing is unique and adapts to each child’s level of learning. Test results provide instant and accurate information about classroom learning, which allows our teachers to alter instruction accordingly.
Eighth-grade students take the PSAT 8/9 and the High School Placement Test.
