Benchmark Testing Schedule
Benchmark testing - The AISD requires us to administer benchmarks in each core subject three times between August and March in both 7th and 8th grades. The goal of these assessments is to measure student progress by testing objectives which have been recently taught or reviewed in class. These tests are powerful tools to assist teachers in discovering student's strengths ad challenges; they can then plan lessons to address those weaknesses and offer remediation for skill deficits.
