A balanced assessment system has many parts from the classroom level assessments to state and national assessments.  All assessments give us information about student success, learning gaps, and can help inform our instruction and curriculum. 

In Romeo, we use the NWEA MAP Growth assessment in grades K-8 in the areas of Reading and Math. The NWEA is administered three times a year. 

Students in grades 3-8 and 11 take the state assessments assigned to their grade.  The M-STEP is given in the areas of ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies. The 8th graders take the PSAT 8/9 and 11th graders are assessed using the SAT with Essay.
