Our Assessments
Citizens’ Academy uses multiple assessments throughout the school year to improve and individualize student instruction, including the Ohio Achievement Tests, Scantron Performance Series (a computer adjusted, nationally-normed assessment), internal short-cycle assessments, DIBELS, Diagnostic Reading Assessment, and Kindergarten Readiness Screening. Assessments are used to:
  • Demonstrate individual student progress toward meeting state standards
  • Guide individual and class instruction
  • Evaluate the effectiveness of teaching methods and the curriculum
  • Identify students with special needs
  • Measure the effectiveness of academic interventions
  • Inform our program development and strategic planning processes
