Student Assessments

Assessing Progress

Boulware believes that assessments should be a part of a student’s education only to the degree to which they inform teachers and administrators of a student’s progress.

Assessments help teachers understand what to teach, re-teach, and where to place children to ensure they are being challenged and moved to the next level.

Boulware uses the following assessments for these purposes:

MAP– A skills-based assessment for Grades K-5 for math and reading developed by the North West Education Association. For more information on MAP, click here.

For a parent toolkit, which explains how to interpret score reports, click here.

STEP– The STEP system provides tools to help teachers assess students’ literacy levels, onsite training to support educators as they move children through the 13-level STEP process, data showing growth and performance at the student, classroom, school, district and network levels, and a host of additional resources aimed at helping all children reach literacy proficiency by 3rd grade. For more information, please click here.

FSA/NGSSS- The FSA and the NGSSS are state assessments that are given once a year at the end of the year to serve as summative assessments. They are given to grades 3-5 in reading, writing, math, and science. See the calendar below for exact dates and subjects tested per grade. For more information, click here.
