This year your child will take several assessments.

 All public school students enrolled in kindergarten must take the Kindergarten Readiness Assessment (KRA) during the first forty-five days of the school year.

EVERY child attending  5 year old kindergarten is assessed using this online tool. The KRA is a developmentally appropriate instrument that measures a child’s school readiness across multiple domains. 

Understanding a child’s school readiness helps kindergarten teachers best meet the child’s needs, and it helps schools, families, communities and policy makers know how best to support young children as they enter the K-12 environment.

The NWEA MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) Test is an advanced tool designed to evaluate and promote your child’s academic growth and learning achievements. What makes this test special is its adaptive nature, ensuring a personalized testing experience that adjusts to your child’s unique learning level. 

The test helps educators understand where your child’s academic strengths and weaknesses are, so they can tailor instructions to meet your child’s unique learning needs. It also helps track your child’s academic growth over time. 

On this test, your child will read a benchmark book to the teacher and then retell the story. The teacher then scores your child on a range of skills, such as accuracy of reading, comprehension, and fluency. 

This system starts with level A, for the easiest books, and then switches to numeric levels, running from 1 to 80.
