Standardized Testing
Kindergarten - 7th Grade
Students in Kindergarten through 7th grade are assessed through the Renaissance Learning, Inc. platform, which offers a suite of standardized, computer-adaptive assessments called Renaissance Star for reading, math, and early literacy in K–12 education: Renaissance Star Reading, Renaissance Star Math, and Renaissance Star Early Literacy.
These assessments are designed to provide teachers and administrators with data on student progress, achievement, and growth throughout the year. The tests are multiple-choice and adaptive, meaning the difficulty level of the questions changes based on the student's ability.
Students in grades third through twelfth will be administered the ACSI Bible Assessment. This assessment focuses on students' knowledge, understanding, and life application of Scripture. It is designed to assist in identifying the mastery level of students in these three areas, and, as a program diagnostic tool, support teachers and administration in evaluating the Bible instructional program.
8th Grade and High School
Beginning in one’s 8th grade year, student progress is measured using the ACT Assessments, which include the PreACT 8/9 and the PreACT. Juniors and Seniors also take the ACT in order to satisfy standardized testing requirements for college entrance. Juniors and Seniors wishing to take the PSAT or SAT will need to contact their local high school to register.
