Smarter Balanced Assessment
Public schools in the United States are required to administer standardized testing to all students in grades three through eight. The English Language Arts and Mathematics Assessments are aligned with the Connecticut Core Standards. The Barkhamsted School uses many measures to evaluate the academic success of our students. These measures, in conjunction with Smarter Balanced Assessment data, will be used to make continuous improvements to our curriculum and instruction, ensuring that our students will achieve at high levels and meet the competencies of the portrait of the successful student.
