State Testing

This
assessment is high stakes for our school, since our school
performance score determines extra funding for our school programs.
It is important that EVERY student be here to take the test; an
absence is scored by the State Accountability System as a “0” in our
records. In addition, the test scores are used for placement in
courses, classrooms, special programs, and specialty enrichments.
Assist
& encourage your students to prepare and do their BEST!!
