Measuring Progress

As part of our commitment to supporting your child’s academic success, assessments, including the iReady and the aimswebPlus benchmark testing is done three times each school year.  
Assessments provide valuable insights into your child’s progress in reading and mathematics. However, this is just one data point of your child’s overall performance.

Understanding Your Child’s Data

The reports shared with families offer detailed information about a child’s current performance levels, growth, and areas of strength and improvement.

iReady Diagnostic Reports
