TESTING

Many tests will be teacher designed and administered as needed.  The Iowa Test of Basic Skills standardized test will be administered in October to students in Grades 2, 4, 6, and 8.

 All student writing is expected to be legible and free from misspellings, punctuation mistakes, and grammatical errors.  Grade level appropriate spelling, punctuation, and grammar shall comprise a portion of the grade in all subjects.

 Standardized test results are recorded in the office and used by teachers.  Results of standardized tests are sent to parents when made available by the Archdiocese of Cincinnati.

 Students in grades 3, 5, and 7 participate in the Archdiocesan Writing Sample program.

 As mandated by the State of Ohio, Ohio EdChoice Scholarship students in grades 3-8 will take the Ohio Achievement Assessment (OAA) in Reading and Math in the spring; and students in grade 3 will also take the OAA Reading test in the fall.

 

Students who have written Service Plans (speech/language or learning disability) are eligible to receive accommodations on

standardized tests only if they receive the same accommodations during the regular classroom testing.  Accommodations can only apply to the subject area(s) covered by the written Service Plan.
