Standardized Testing

Description

The Classical Liberal Arts Academy (CLAA) has partnered with Academic Excellence (AE) to provide Academy students with convenient and affordable annual standardized testing.

The California Achievement Test (CAT) is one of the most widely used assessments for basic academic skills. The CAT provides Academy staff members, students and their parents with a measure of achievement and national comparison in reading, language, spelling, and mathematics.

Tests are divided into multiple sections that can be easily administered by parents or educators. These tests can be taken over as many sessions as necessary based upon the schedule of the student and provide total flexibility.

Meeting most state and umbrella school requirements for annual testing, the California Achievement Test provides insight into students’ scholastic progress by scoring grade equivalency, percentile ranking, and stanine.
