Academic Standards

Standards define what each student should know and do in a core set of subjects. They give students a solid foundation in the basics and provide consistent targets for students, teachers and parents. Standards allow schools to measure student achievement.

Aligned standards and assessments provide the ability to see how well students are performing and how much they are improving.
