Teachers find that algebra is a great way to motivate high achieving students. If you have any questions regarding our curriculum, please contact Principal Bruce Whitehead at 549-6109. The Consortium was established to review and approve curriculum throughout Missoula County to ensure a more uniform county-wide curriculum. The Consortium is piloting a standardized system of assessing students called Achievement Level Tests. These tests assess student achievement in reading, language, and math.
Students take the tests each fall and spring in third through eighth grade.
The tests will measure how much your child has grown academically each year in each of those subject areas. Just as a doctor has a chart showing the most common height of children at certain ages, we have prepared a chart showing average RIT scores for students at the end of grades three through eight. Your child's teacher will use this and other information to plan a program to best meet the needs of your child. Our goal is that all students will show academic growth each year. If you would like to know more about the Achievement Level Tests, your building principal has an information guide outlining the theory behind the tests and contains sample questions.
