Testing

The school administers the MAP Growth Assessment three times per year. The results of these tests will be discussed with parents, guardians and students during Parent-Teacher conferences. One copy of the results will be placed in the student’s permanent record, and another sent home.

 

Promotion

Students must maintain a minimum “P” (K-2) or “C” average (Grades 3-8) or its equivalent in all subject areas to be promoted to the next grade. Exceptions will only be made when in counsel with the parent, teacher, and principal and it is proven that repeating a grade would be of absolutely no benefit to the student.
