Testing for School Year '06-07

 

In addition to regular teacher-prepared tests and quizzes, you will engage in a series of county, state, and national assessments.  Results are used to determine academic placement, to satisfy graduation requirements, or to compare the performance of students in the county and/or school to their counterparts in the state and/or nation.

Quarterly Benchmark Assessments

All seventh and eighth grade students must take quarterly performance assessments in reading, writing, language usage,  mathematics, and science.  Students are assessed on their ability to respond to open-ended questions and problem-solve.  These tests are intended to measure progress in mastering MSA outcomes.  Scores count 25% of the quarterly grade in the course(s) administered.

Maryland School Assessment (MSA) -

The Maryland School assessment measures students' abilities to demonstrate mastery of the Maryland Learning outcomes and is a test that will demonstrate student achievement in the areas of mathematics, reading, and science.  The tests meet the requirements of the federal N o Child Left Behind Act and will require students to demonstrate mastery of skills learned in middle school. Students will receive their individual scores. The test will include both multiple-choice and short-essay questions.

Why the change from MSPAP?

What we know about MSA

 

  • Reporting Scores- Scores for the 2003 MSA's will be reported at the school, school system, and state levels in late summer 2003 - before the beginning of the new school year.  Individual student scores will be sent dome to parent shortly thereafter.

High School Assessments (HSA)-                       

High School Assessments must be taken at the end of the year for students in the Algebra course. These are Maryland State Department of Education tests administered to determine how will students have mastered the curriculum. Success will qualify you for the next level of instruction.

 

Science and Technology Entrance Exam (Eleanor Roosevelt, Flowers)

                Admission to the Science & Technology program in ninth grade is based on student performance on a written exam and grade point average in English, Math, Science, and Social Studies received during seventh grade and the first quarter of eighth grade.  The written exam determines two thirds of the admission score. This exam is given on a Saturday, generally during January.  The exam includes both language and general math skills.  The coordinator of the Science & Technology program will present information to all interested eighth grade students in October.  Applications will be available from the eighth grade counselor during October and November.

Comprehensive Test of Basic Skills (CTBS)-when selected

A non-referenced test administered to a sampling of eighth graders from each middle school to determine how will Prince George's County students compare with students in other school districts nationally.

National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)- when we are selected  

A national assessment administered to a sampling of eighth graders each year to determine their knowledge in specific subject areas and to compare the results with the previous years' eighth graders.
