MAP Testing - Measure of Academic Progress

Students in grades 2-5 will have scheduled times in the computer lab to complete Measures of Academic Progress tests. Spring testing will take place May 9 - May 27.

MAP tests are aligned to Minnesota's academic standards. Students are tested in the fall, winter and spring in both reading and math. The MAP test is an individualized computer adaptive test in which questions are generated based on the previous response for each student.

Student scores on the MAP will be sent home to parents. Scores are reported in RIT scores (short for Rausch Unit). The RIT score is an equal-interval scale which can measure growth in learning.
