Student Testing and Assessment Plan
The District student assessment plan provides information for determining individual student achievement instructional needs, and curriculum and instructional effectiveness, as well as school performance measured against District student curriculum learning targets and statewide norms.

The Superintendent or designee shall manage the student assessment program that, at a minimum:

  1. Administers the State assessment system, assessments required by the Ill. State Board of Education (ISBE) and/or any other appropriate assessment methods and instruments, including norm and criterion-referenced achievement tests, aptitude tests, proficiency tests, and teacher-developed tests. 

  2. Informs students of the timelines and procedures applicable to their participation in every State assessment.  

  3. Provides each student and his or her student’s parents/guardians custodians with the results or scores of each State assessment and an evaluation of the student’s progress.  See policy 6:280, Grading and Promotion.  

  4. Utilizes professional testing practices. 


Overall student assessment data on tests required by State law will be aggregated by the District and reported, along with other information, on the District’s annual report card. All reliable assessments administered by the District and scored by entities outside of the District must be (1) reported to ISBE on its form by the 30th day of each school year, and (2) made publicly available to parents and guardians of students.  Board policy 7:340, Student Records, and its implementing procedures govern recordkeeping and access issues.
