Assessments

Assessments at Meiklejohn Elementary

Our standards-based education environment necessitates the development and coordination of a comprehensive assessment plan that focuses on student learning and growth with accountability at all levels. The content standards define the results of what we want students to know and do, and a carefully designed assessment system is essential to provide a valid and reliable measure of those results. A comprehensive system increases student motivation and commitment to high quality work, builds student confidence and ability, enables students to be reflective, self-directed, and supports appropriate curriculum and instructional decisions.

Assessments in Jeffco

Assessments inform instruction and monitor student progress. Assessments should:

  • Add value to the student learning experience.
  • Engage families in supporting their students.
  • Help identify strengths, interests and opportunities for growth for all students.

A collection of assessment results can be used to help set goals, identify priorities and inform equity of access to grade-level learning.

Individual schools determine which additional assessments will support their specific student population’s learning. Each school will select specific dates within the district-provided assessment windows.

Some assessments are required by federal or state law; see information regarding state assessment participation. Families can refuse participation in state assessments for their students. Contact your student's school if you have questions about test refusals.
