Testing Program

Multiple Assessment tests are administered to grades 
three through eight in early spring.  The basic purpose 
of this battery of tests is to provide information for use 
in making educational decisions leading to the 
improvement of instruction in the basic skills.  

The basic skills tested are:  reading, math, science, 
social studies, language arts and reference skills. 
Parents receive reports following the return of results 
to the school. Assistance in interpretation is assured 
through student and parent conferences when requested.  
St. John Neumann students place well above the average 
norms in national comparisons of standardized testing.
