Testing and Assessment

Testing and Assessment

The state of Ohio requires all students in grades 3-8 to take assessments in reading and
math (annually) and science and social studies (in identified grade levels). Ohio’s assessments
are developed by Ohio educators and a research firm AIR. Ohio has been using AIR for
over fifteen years.
As with every other Ohio school district we must follow the state requirements in regards
to assessment. There has been much discussion in Columbus and Washington DC regarding
testing. Any changes will communicated to families on the District website and other modes
of communication. The following are the subject areas tested in each grade level:

Grade 3:
Ohio AIR Assessment in English/Language Arts which includes reading and writing: November and
March/April
Ohio AIR Mathematics Assessment: April/May

 Students MUST take a third grade reading assessment to be promoted to fourth
grade unless determined by the student’s IEP or 504. This is part of the Third Grade
Reading Guarantee.
