Comments: • We do not base our teachers performance on test results. We do not promote or hold back students based on standardized testing; students are promoted based on mastery. • We do not use any standardized tests that you have on this survey. We do use ACT Aspire, PSAT, ASVAB, and ACT/SAT results to track our students. • We do not use standardized tests in every grade because we do not want to become test-focused and distracted by measurements created by an educational system with an alternate goal. We may consider more frequent standardized testing if there was a test that better fit our school's mission and vision. • We do not use standardized tests to determine promotion to the next grade level.
