We will update information on this site as we receive new
information from the Ohio Department of Education.
Scholar progress is assessed in many ways, such as teacher observation, teacher-made assessments, continuous progress monitoring, projects, research papers, and paper-and-pencil tests. All of these forms of assessment provide information to help plan each child’s education and monitor each child’s progress. The use of assessment to monitor scholar progress, to guide instruction, and to determine the effectiveness of instruction is central to the District’s goal of ensuring the success of all scholars.
In addition to teacher-created assessments, the District is
administering two types of assessments that have been part of the testing
program:
- Assessments that have been administered for many years but
have had different names.
- Nationally-normed standardized tests that permit comparison of a scholar’s achievement to that of other scholars in the United States.
State-mandated tests designed to assess scholar progress
with respect to Ohio's Learning Standards.
- The third grade reading guarantee requirement that scholars
be assessed to determine whether they are on track to meet a certain standard
on the state English language arts assessment for 3rd grade.
- Exams required for graduation: End of course exams
