Measures of Academic Progress (MAP)
MAP is a district assessment that measures a student's developing skills through a series of questions that adapt to the child’s level of learning. Research on MAP indicates the results are highly accurate. The results help teachers measure growth and determine whether a student may need more support or more challenge.
Due to pandemic-related school closures, 2019-20 MAP assessment data is not available.
