The Stanford 10 is a set of standardized achievement tests used for assessing children’s skills in English, math, history, and science. Standardized tests are designed to demonstrate to the parents and students whether the child is performing at the grade-appropriate and age-appropriate levels. The test also demonstrates the performance of the class, which helps the school assess the effectiveness of its teaching methods. The results will help Enlightium Academy (Enlightium) administration identify and address areas of strength and areas needing improvement to better serve our students. Enlightium offers the Stanford 10 annual assessment to students in grades 3-10 and requires that students take the Stanford 10 in grades 4, 6, 8, and 10.
This next Stanford 10 testing window is scheduled for April 22-23, 2021.
We encourage all Enlightium students in grades 3-10 to take the Stanford 10 standardized test. The test results will not affect their current grades at Enlightium Academy. 11th graders are highly recommended to take the PSAT/NMSQT or SAT. 12th graders should take SAT through College Board, if they have not done so already.
*Families should review their state’s requirements prior to opting out. See “Regulations by State” for more details.
