MAP Growth is a nationally normed, adaptive, computer-based assessment given three times a year. Teachers receive detailed information on student learning so they can develop instruction that meets student needs and identify students who need extra support. Students use results to monitor their progress toward post-secondary readiness targets. Contact the school for scheduling and reporting information.
