PGCPS Benchmark Tests
The Quarterly Benchmark Tests are given in Algebra 1, Biology, English 9, English 10 and L/S/N Government.  They are in alignment with the curriculum and designed to mimic the High School Assessment.  The benchmark information allows teachers to adjust instruction to better prepare students for the High School Assessments.
