Evaluations & Testing
Standardized Testing
Enlightium Academy recommends regular testing and requires that students take the Stanford 10 in grades 4, 6, 8, and 10.
The Stanford 10 is a set of standardized achievement tests used for assessing children’s skills in English, math, history, and science. Allowing students to take the Stanford 10 also allows EA to compare its students’ scores to the national average.
The next testing session will be: April 22nd-24th, 2020.
We encourage that all eligible Enlightium students take this test to attain an updated benchmark of overall academic performance at each student’s respective grade level. The test results will not affect his/her current grades at Enlightium. The results will help our administration identify and address areas of strength and areas needing improvement to better serve our students. Please note, many states require students living in their state to take a standardized test annually. Check regulations by state to see what your state requires.
