Student Testing in Scott County Schools

Students in Scott County Schools take different kinds of tests at the classroom, district, and state levels.
State Testing:
  • All students in grades 2–8 take the TCAP Achievement Test in English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies.
  • Second graders also take state reading and math tests.
  • At Scott High School, students take End-of-Course (EOC) exams in the following subjects:
    • English 9
    • English 10
    • Algebra 1
    • Geometry
    • Algebra 2
    • U.S. History
    • Biology
Testing for Special Services:
  •  Students who receive special support services may take additional tests required by the state.
  •  English language learners (ELL) in grades K–8 take the WIDA ACCESS test in Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking.
  • ELL students in grades 2–8 also take the regular TCAP test.
  • Students who qualify for alternate testing take the TCAP ALT exam instead of the regular TCAP.
District Testing:
  •  All students in grades K–8 take the MAP test (Measures of Academic Progress) in reading and math three times a year.
    • This test shows students' skill levels in areas like phonics, vocabulary, comprehension, numbers, algebra, and geometry.
    • Parents will receive reports about their child’s MAP results.
    • Teachers use these results to adjust instruction to meet each student’s needs.
Extra Support Testing:
  •  Students who are behind in reading or math take extra tests like the EasyCBM and Survey Level Assessments to help find the best support for them.
Classroom Testing:
  •  Teachers also use their own methods to check how well students are learning and adjust teaching as needed.
