Measures of Academic Progress (MAP)- Grades 3 through 7
for Fall Newsletters

All 3rd through 7th grade students will be participating in the Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) between September 28 and October 30, 2009. MAP is a computer-generated mathematics assessment that takes students about an hour to complete. 

 

The MAP assessment is unique because the software adapts to an appropriate level for your child's current understanding. This unique level continues from one testing season to the next. As a result, each student has the same opportunity to maintain a positive attitude toward testing.

 

The MAP assessment provides one "snapshot" of student performance. Used in conjunction with classroom assessments, results from these tests help students, teachers and parents better understand each student's progress toward meeting district standards for achievement. In addition, results help teachers and administrators identify strengths and areas for future improvement in our instructional programs. Within 72 hours after testing, teachers can access individual student reports that give detailed information about each student's math skills.
