Our students take a lot of tests. However, in education, we prefer the broader term, assessment. To see a list of core assessments by grade level that Windsor students take throughout the year, please see the District Assessment Calendar.

The data from the assessments is a valuable tool for improving student learning. Educators use assessment data in the following ways:

• identify areas of strength and weakness

• track student progress

• set goals

• measure student progress and achievement

• differentiate instruction

• communicate with students, families, the community, and the state.
