MAP Testing

NWEA Measuring Academic Progress testing is another standardized testing tool we use, along with most of the area Catholic schools. These are computerized tests that automatically adjust to a student's individual abilities and knowledge level as the student is taking the test. As a result it is a more accurate measure of what each student knows, rather than whether or not the student knows the material presented on a particular test. This test will be delivered several times each year to measure each student's growth, as well as strengths and weaknesses in content area.

ASA MAP scores for each subject area are indicated on the bar graphs. The National average scores are indicated in the grid below each bar graph.
