Standardized Testing

The following assessments are administered during the K-4 years:
 
Cognitive Abilities Test: This is a test that measures a students ability level in verbal, non-verbal and quantitative areas. We are administering this in February over three days. Each day will take approximately one hour.
 
Pennsylvania School Systematic Assessments: This is a required state assessment that measures a students' proficiency in certain subject areas.
 
DIBELS: These are math and reading benchmarks given by teachers in the fall, winter and spring. The results are used for intervention planning and monitoring student progress.
