Federal and State regulations require certain standardized assessments. Students are assessed in Science in Grade 5, Grade 8 and in Grade 11. PARCC assessments are used to determine student knowledge in Language Arts in Grades 3 through 11. PARCC Mathematics assessments for Grades 3 through 8 include Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry. PARCC testing occurs in April. Students who are learning English as their second language are assessed annually with the WIDA - Access for ELLs in February.
