MAP Growth Test
MAP Growth scores help teachers check student performance by measuring achievement and growth. Teachers use results to tailor classroom lessons and set goals for students. There is nothing to study nor prepare for these tests. They are not timed and arrangements will be made for students who need extra time to complete the tests.
We are excited to focus on individual student growth and achievement.
