• Public Notice: Assessment

    In the spring, your child may have participated in the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) Grade-Level and End-of-Course assessments. The Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) evaluates students’ progress toward the Missouri Learning Standards. Grade-Level and End-of-Course assessments provide important information that contributes to decisions concerning individual students, groups of students and educational programs/curriculum. Assessments are given in the subject areas of Communication Arts (grades 3-8), Mathematics (grades 3-8), Science (grades 5 and 8), High School Biology, High School English II, High School Government, High School Algebra I and High School Algebra II.  

    The Individual Student Report (ISR), includes an Achievement Level, which will describe his or her performance as Below Basic, Basic, Proficient or Advanced. The report also includes a short description of the knowledge and skills that are typically demonstrated by students in each Achievement Level.  

    We are expecting the ISRs for the Grade-Level and End of Course assessments to be delivered to our district this summer or fall and these will be distributed to parents in a timely manner after receipt in our district. If you are in need of your child’s Individual Student Report (ISR) prior to regular distribution, please contact your child’s school. Please note that Government was a field test and no scores will be reported for that exam.

    In accordance with state law (RSMo. 160.518) and federal law (Part A - Subpart 1 - Section 1111(b)(2)(I)(ii)), the St. Charles R-VI School District is mandated to assess all students grades 3 - 8 with the state Grade Level Assessment and high school students with the appropriate End of Course Exam. When opting-in to public education, you are also opting-in to the state and federal regulations that are associated with public education and therefore, students who are in attendance during our district testing window will be required to participate in the testing.  If a student is absent during the building’s designated testing days, the student will be tested when he/she returns to school.
