Why is there no Core Knowledge testing program beyond grade 5?
The Core Knowledge Foundation, as a nonprofit organization, can only undertake those initiatives for which it can secure grant funding. Up to this time, we have only been able to obtain grants to create a testing program up to grade 5. However, the Foundation encourages Core Knowledge middle schools to create their own achievement tests, either individually or collaboratively. It is possible that the Foundation could obtain grant funding to support middle school initiatives of this kind.
