Lower School MAP Testing (Grades K-5)

Lower school students will take MAP tests during the weeks of September 23-September 27 and September 30-October 4, 2024. MAP, or the Measure of Academic Progress, is a computerized adaptive test that helps teachers, parents, and administrators improve student learning. On testing days, please do everything you can to be sure your child is present on those days. As always, if your child is not feeling well, keep him or her home and we will set up a make-up session.

The students in grades K-2 are taking two tests; one in reading and one in math. Students in grades 3-5 will take an additional test in science. The tests are untimed, but each session takes one hour to complete. If a student needs more time, more time will be provided. For students in Kindergarten, the sessions are only half an hour long. The amount of time spent testing is greatly decreased using these computerized tests, and we will be able to access results almost immediately to better serve our students and families.
