Fall NWEA MAP Growth testing window opened Tuesday, September 4, 2018 and will close on Monday, October 1, 2018

NWEA MAP Growth tests are administered to students to determine their instructional level and to measure academic growth throughout the school year (and from year to year) in reading, math, language and science.

NWEA MAP Growth tests are unique in that they adapt to your child’s level of learning. If your child answers a question correctly, the next question is more challenging. If they answer incorrectly, the next one is easier. This results in a detailed picture of what your child knows and is ready to learn—whether it is on, above, or below their grade level.

Since NWEA  MAP Growth tests provide immediate and accurate information about your child’s learning, it’s easy for teachers to identify students with similar scores that are generally ready for instruction in similar skills and topics, and then plan instruction accordingly.

Below are links to parent guides (in English, Arabic, and Spanish) to help you better understand  NWEA MAP Growth tests
