Assessing

Formative and summative assessments are used throughout the school year to help provide feedback to both teachers and students on progress. The Mt Lebanon School District uses high quality, research based assessments and utilized the data to make instructional and curricular decisions. Formative assessments include the aimsWeb Plus and MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) which are administered throughout the year. Students in grades three through five participate in the PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) tests in the spring.
