What is the purpose of the diagnostic test?
Due to ORU eAcademy’s accreditation with the International Christian Accrediting Association (ICAA) and North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement (NCA), spring standardized testing is required for full-time students in grades 3, 5, 8, and 11. ORU eAcademy is pleased to offer our students the Measurement of Academic Progress (MAP) test through the Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA). While we only require this test for our students in grades 3, 5, 8, and 11, we strongly encourage all of our students to take advantage of this service. This information may be helpful to show accountability to local school boards or state departments of education. Please note that ORU eAcademy utilizes standardized test data for program development. Test scores do not impact students’ grades in any way.
