High School Readiness Check for Rising 9th Graders

Is your child ready for the transition from middle school to high school?

Our 8th Grade End-of-Year Math & ELA Assessment is designed for students completing 8th grade and preparing to enter 9th grade. This assessment helps parents evaluate how well their child has mastered essential middle school skills and identifies strengths and learning gaps before high school begins.
