High school
In grades 9 - 12, we use state assessments as our primary measures. Teachers supplement with additional classroom information to address about gaps in student learning. This helps identify next steps in classroom instruction and supports student growth.
The assessments shown below are required for the 2020 - 2021 school year. Use the links to view detailed information about each type.
