Is Standardized Testing part of the Montessori Program?
Very few Montessori schools give standardized tests to children under the first or second grade. At Baldwin Oaks Academy we administer the NEAT (Norris Educational Achievement Test) to children in the third grade and above. This test in given at the beginning and end of the year and is used primarily by the child’s teacher to assess the child’s growth over the course of the year.
