FOURTH QUARTER TESTS During the fourth quarter we will be asking students to take a variety of assessments (End of Course/ECA in English 10, Algebra I, and Biology; Advanced Placement/AP in many subjects; Common Formative Assessments/CFA in nearly every class, and Acuity for some of our math classes). While this may seem like too many assessments, our goal is always to use the test results to change our instruction so each and every student can achieve at high levels.
