Newfound educators use multiple kinds of formative and summative assessments to continuously gather evidence of student learning, monitor student progress, and provide feedback to students about their strengths and areas of growth.
NH state assessments
NH state assessments
From the NHED Office of Assessment:
Annually, New Hampshire school districts and public charter schools are required by state law (RSA 193-C) and federal accountability laws (Every Student Succeeds Act) to assess students using a standardized assessment.
description-state-assessments.pdfStatewide assessments are an important part of a student’s core educational program by providing:
An evaluation of student mastery of content and skills in various academic areas
Serve as one tool for measuring the degree to which students are on track to graduate high school and are college- and career-ready
Help inform future instruction in the classroom
Along with student work on classroom assignments, projects, essays and local assessments, state assessment results give teachers, parents, and the community important information about where students are on their path toward academic success.
New Hampshire Statewide Assessment System (SAS)
Families can access their child's SAS data through the NH Department of Education Family Portal. Your child's school will provide their unique access code when scores become available.
New Hampshire SAT School Day with Essay

a note about state assessments
from Superintendent Paul Hoiriis:
The State of New Hampshire requires that all students take the SAS and SAT as part of our state accountability assessments. I would like to stress the importance of student participation in these assessments. The results of these assessments serve a number of purposes including providing our rating as a school on the State Department of Education website and informing us of the effectiveness of our instructional programming. Parents/guardians do have the right to opt their student out of testing, but given its importance to the district's and schools' accountability ratings, we hope that all student participate.
