At what age are students required to take standardized tests and what tests are used?
Students in grades one through seven take Stanford Standardized Achievement Tests and second, fifth and seventh graders take the Otis Lennon School Achievement Tests in March each year. These tests measure student performance using national norms and indicate the progress of individuals in areas such as language arts, reading comprehension and mathematics. Parents are notified well in advance of the upcoming tests so that they can make sure their child gets a restful night’s sleep and eats a healthy breakfast. The results of the SAT’s are mailed with report cards to parents in early June.
