The NWEA MAP Growth test is an online assessment tool that uses computer-adaptive questioning techniques to determine students' content knowledge and skill levels; results are used to determine student learning plans and develop curriculum goals. It is administered in Grades 5-8 two times per year. The BFS Middle School adopted the NWEA MAP Growth assessment in the 2018-2019 school year after a year-long investigation into the ERB and other testing tools.
