Standardized Testing
Wood Acres students are assessed annually using nationally standardized tests. The Stanford Achievement Test (SAT 10) and the Otis Lennon Group Ability Test by Pearson Educational Measurement are administered to each Kindergartner through Upper School student each April. Test results are sent to parents at the end of the school year along with each student’s final report card.
Wood Acres students consistently score in the 90th percentile or higher in all major core content areas. While Wood Acres values the results of these standardized tests, the variety of other authentic assessments used in the classroom on a regular basis prove even more valuable and timely in assisting consistent student achievement.
Wood Acres is proud that test preparation is not crammed into the six weeks prior to test administration, but is the cumulative result of quality teaching and memorable learning. Our test preparation the week before testing begins consists of sharpening #2 pencils and assuring that our students get a good nights rest.
