Dear Parents and Guardians:
Your child’s scores from the April/May state test administration are now available to view in your ProgressBook parent portal. A more detailed score report will be mailed home later this summer after we have received our report shipment from the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce (ODEW).
Students in grades 3 - 8 and high school take Ohio’s State Tests in English language arts and mathematics. At certain points, these students also take state tests in science and social studies. Specifically, the tests are:
- Grade 3 – English Language Arts, Math
- Grade 4 – English Language Arts, Math
- Grade 5 – English Language Arts, Math, Science
- Grade 6 – English Language Arts, Math
- Grade 7 – English Language Arts, Math
- Grade 8 – English Language Arts, Math, Science
- High School – English Language Arts 2 (10th grade), Algebra 1, Geometry, U.S. History, U.S. Government, Biology
Ohio’s Learning Standards are the foundation of the state assessments. These assessments tell us how well our students are growing in the knowledge and skills outlined by ODEW, and help guide and strengthen future teaching so we can be sure that we are preparing our students for long-term success in school, college, careers and life. These assessment results are just one of the pieces of data we use to measure student progress. Test results also allow citizens to know how their local schools are performing compared to others around the state. For more information on Ohio’s Learning Standards or state assessments, please visit:
Please contact your child’s school if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth A. Anderson
Assistant Superintendent
