Upcoming MAP Growth Testing: What You Need to Know
Beginning the week of December 2, students will take a reading and a mathematics MAP Growth test. A MAP Growth test is a summary of how your child is performing academically. These tests and scores help teachers check student performance by measuring achievement and growth. Teachers use results to tailor classroom lessons and set goals for students.
MAP Growth tests are unique, and they adapt to your child’s responses to measure your child’s skill level. If your child answers a question correctly, the next question is more challenging. If they answer incorrectly, the next one is easier. These results will provide a more complete picture of what your child knows and is ready to learn—whether it is on, above, or below their grade level.
Test Dates Please do your best to ensure your child is present on these days.
- Thursday, Dec. 5: Reading
- Wednesday, Dec. 11: Math
