Testing 

Counselors, along with the Assessment Action Team and the school’s Literacy Resource Teacher (LRT), are instrumental in the testing process that is common in public schools today.  The following is a 2008 list of tests and approximate times they will be offered:

 The Colorado State ACT:

Wednesday, April 23, 2008 (NO WRITING)
This state mandated test is administered to all 11th grade students in the spring.  The Colorado ACT is required, but free to students.  Scores on this test are accepted by NCAA Clearing House as well as all military academies.  Students who are looking at colleges or universities who require the writing portion of this test are advised to take the June ACT with writing.

 

NAEP test:  Monday, April 7, 2008

The National Assessment of Educational Progress test also known as the Nation’s Report Card is the only national assessment that shows what students across the country know and can do in subjects such as reading and mathematics.  It is different from our state assessments and even the SAT and ACT because it represents high school students across the country, not just those here in Colorado or those who want to go to college.  Students are chosen from a random sample of eligible students.  In most schools, the sample will be approximately 60-65 students.  Parents are advised by letter if their student is chosen to take this test.
