Assessments for Louisiana Schools

"Grow" is the largest share of your accountability score. Strongly-aligned assessments are even more critical. Are your benchmarks ready for primetime?

Learn about Lafourche Parish's Assessment Process

With growth now 54% of your score, strongly-aligned assessments are critical.
In LDOE’s new accountability, growth in Math and ELA is a top priority, especially for the bottom 25%. Schools using assessments that lack rigor, alignment, or teacher-friendly analytics will be at a big disadvantage. Growth opportunities won’t surface in time to matter.

In 2028, several grades will stop getting a state science or social studies score. 
Grade-banded science and social studies assessments are coming soon. During off-testing years, your district benchmarks will be a vital measure of student progress towards Mastery.  If you’re focused on raising your Achieve scores, it’s time to take a closer look at your district assessments.
