Standardized Tests Sample Clauses

Standardized Tests. Under the direction of the School Administrator, NSCS students will be tested with the same state-mandated standardized tests as all other Idaho public school students. The tests will be conducted in strict accordance with, and at the specified intervals mandated by the State of Idaho. It is NSCS’s goal to have a 95% participation rate on state assessments. Early and consistent communication with parents about the importance and purpose of the assessments along with communicating the assessment results to parents in a timely manner will help facilitate NSCS reaching this goal. The School Administrator will work with the staff member assigned the role of School Test Coordinator to ensure a schedule is developed that provides an opportunity for all students to be assessed and for students that are not in attendance during the testing period to be rescheduled for a make-up test. Additionally, NSCS will administer any and all required state assessments according to SDE protocol. NSCS is currently accredited for grades K through 12 by The Northwest Accreditation Commission. NSCS will renew accreditation every 5 years as required by the Northwest Accreditation Commission. The requirements used by the AdvancED Accreditation Commission are research-based standards to not only evaluate NSCS’s organizational effectiveness, but also its K-12 programs, school wide culture, and satisfaction of our stakeholders. The five standards- Purpose and Direction, Governance and Leadership, Teaching and Assessing for Learning, Resources and Support Systems, and Using Results for Continuous Improvement, provide the framework for NSCS to continually monitor our effectiveness. It is our belief that using this set of research-based standards can provide focus and help NSCS leadership and stakeholders continue to provide a quality education for NSCS students.
