Spring Standardized Assessments (Grades PreK-12)

Standardized tests are designed to demonstrate to the parents and students whether the student is performing at grade-appropriate and age-appropriate levels.

The test also demonstrates the performance of the class, which helps the school assess the effectiveness of its teaching methods. 

The results will help Enlightium administration identify and address areas of strength and areas needing improvement to better serve our students.

The test results will not affect their current grades at Enlightium Academy. 

Note: Makeup days are not available if students miss one or more tests.

Not all students are required or able to take a Spring assessment through Enlightium.

Some state regulations require an annual assessment; see the "Regulations by State" section below.
