ISAT resources available online |

May 5, 2017 |
Idaho parents can learn more about state tests
and their child’s performance using a new
interactive website available from the Idaho
State Department of Education.
Students in grades 3-8 and 10th are wrapping up
ISAT testing and soon reports will be available
from local districts to parents.
“Parent involvement is essential to student
success and part of that is understanding what a
test says about learning,” said Superintendent
of Public Instruction Sherri Ybarra. “We wanted
an online resource that busy parents could use
to learn more about what students are learning
and what they are expected to know and do at
each grade level.”
The SDE, working with the state’s testing
company, developed new reports for parents and a
new website for parents to dig deeper into what
their children’s results mean.
On the site, parents and the public can review
sample questions, information on what
proficiency levels mean, and download parent
guides for every grade level tested in the math
and English language arts.
The website extends work that began with the
first pilot of the state test two years ago.
“We want to hear from parents about the site and
what they would like added in the future,” said
Karlynn Laraway, Director of Assessment. “We see
this resource growing to accommodate parent
needs.”
The new resource webpage is available at
http://testscoreguide.org/id/.
Questions regarding the new resource webpage may
be directed to Jeff Church at (208) 332-6934.
