LCHS NWEA Testing
Dear Parents, students, and staff,
We hope you have enjoyed the school year as much as we have getting to know your students personally, professionally and academically. In the coming week on Wednesday, May 24th, 2023, we will be completing our NWEA Spring MAP Testing to reveal student academic growth and progress for the spring semester. This test will be for our 7th-11th grade students. Seniors will need to complete asynchronous work during the day after their morning check in to Crew on google classroom. Please have students well rested and present on the testing date mentioned. Thank you for your support in advance. You may assist your students by reminding them to keep their Chromebooks functional and charged. We will be testing by grade level in the classrooms on the testing date below:

Common Questions:
| How do schools and teachers use MAP Growth scores? | Teachers can use the scores to identify learning areas that their class should focus on, as well as monitor the growth of individual students. Principals and administrators can use the scores to see the performance and progress of a grade level, school, or the entire district |
| Can MAP Growth tell me if my child is working at grade level? | Yes, but please note that MAP Growth scores are just one data point that teachers use to determine how a student is performing. Please discuss any questions that you have about your child’s performance with their teacher. |
| How often will my child take MAP Growth tests? | Most schools give MAP Growth tests to students at the beginning, middle, and end of the school year (in the fall, winter, and spring). Some schools choose to administer tests only twice a year. |
| What are norms? | NWEA provides schools with norms by utilizing anonymous data from more than 10 million students around the US. Knowing the top, middle, and bottom scores of all these students combined allows teachers to compare where your child is to other students and help them grow. In addition, NWEA provides comparison data for private, accredited, English-based, international schools using MAP Growth outside the US. |
| What types of questions are on MAP Growth tests? | The MAP Growth tests include multiple choice, drag-and-drop, and other types of questions. For sample tests, visit Warmup.NWEA.org. |
