Academic Testing.
Grade three is a very important year, when students are just beginning to enter into a more active, inquisitive phase of their education. Now more than ever, it is important for young people to have a grasp of the basics, a full understanding that they can bring forward into future years in academia.
We use the CAT (California Aptitude Test) and the EQA0, as well as other assessments to better understand whether our students are at, above, or challenged by the standard grade 3 level curriculum.
The results can be considered by governing bodies under certain circumstances: please contact the school or your teacher if you are interested in having your child's test results assessed by your local school board.
Students can opt out of academic testing, but please be aware that students returning to a local school board may be required to complete assessments as a condition of their return. Families can choose not to have a student's test results entered into the student record, in which case the Academy will use the test results only for grade placement and to better understand a student's academic needs.
