Acuity Benchmark Assessments are instructional benchmarks designed to assess student progress over the course of the school year. These benchmark assessments are designed for students in grades 3 - 11 and are intended to provide a "snapshot" of student progress as it relates to acquisition of selected 21st century CSOs. This snapshot can be utilized by teachers to guide instructional design and interventions. 

 

The benchmark assessments are designed to be administered quarterly in the content areas of mathematics, reading/language arts, science and social studies. All assessments, representing a quarterly instructional time period, are based on the West Virginia 21st century CSOs. The assessments allow educators to target instruction in all four content areas by providing important data on student performance relative to state standards. Acuity reports are available on the district, school, classroom, and student level. Teachers have access to the student results immediately after students complete the assessment, and students can be given access after the testing window ends.
