Testing

Assessment is a term educators use when describing many of the ways they learn about their students’ school progress.

Assessments that school districts give include traditional tests, but also include classroom activities that help teachers determine when each student needs additional help or practice, and when he or she is ready to move ahead in the learning process.

Ohio’s State Tests measure how students statewide are developing the knowledge and skills described in Ohio’s Learning Standards in a selected number of subject areas. The test results also help measure each public school’s performance, which is reflected on its annual Ohio School Report Card. The iReady Diagnostic prepares students at The Edge Academy for taking the Ohio State Tests.
