State Assessments
Public school students throughout the U.S. are required to take standardized tests to find out if they’ve mastered grade-level skills. State tests play an important role in measuring learning progress—complementing grades and other assessments to paint a fuller picture of a student’s academic strengths and weaknesses. It’s helpful for Teachers and students to understand the goals of standardized testing, why the results matter, and how state testing can benefit students in the long run.
