• Overview
  • Standardized testing for grades Pre-K through 8 will take place on May 7th and 8th.
  • These tests help determine if students are performing at grade-appropriate and age-appropriate levels while also allowing Enlightium Academy to evaluate the effectiveness of its teaching methods. 
  • The results provide insights into students’ strengths and areas for improvement but do not impact their grades. 
  • Makeup days are not available for missed tests. 
  • For state-specific requirements and more detailed information please visit the Knowledge Base.

  • This test is recommended for students who live in a state where standardized testing is required.
