Academic Assessment Calendar
Assessment, or testing, of student learning happens regularly by classroom teachers to measure academic progress. In addition, Northrop students complete numerous standardized assessments throughout the year to track their academic progress and identify students who need additional support or challenge:
- FAST Tests are relatively quick, adaptive tests given multiple times per year in reading and math.
- MCAs are state-wide standardized tests given to 3rd-5th graders
- CogAT is used to help identify Advanced Learners. It is administered to all 2nd graders. Students in later grades can be referred for testing by either a parent or teacher.
