Charles County Public Schools (CCPS) will begin distributing individual reports next week for students who took i-Ready program assessments this fall. Reports will be sent home as early as Monday, Oct. 10.   

Students who took i-Ready assessments include the following.

• Grades 1-8 participated in both a reading and math assessment.

• High school students enrolled in Algebra I this year completed the math assessment.

• High school students taking English I this year completed the reading assessment.

No other students will receive i-Ready data reports.  CCPS implemented i-Ready, a new diagnostic assessment program, last school year. The program features adaptive assessments that build on student responses to provide teachers with data to best support their students. The initial diagnostics completed by students this fall provide detailed results for each student. Teachers are using the data to identify student strengths and weaknesses, and plan instruction to support growth and target areas of improvement.

The initial assessment is not designed to provide a grade or score for a student. The question structure adjusts to student responses. For example, if a student answers several questions correctly in a row, the program will adjust and provide students with more challenging questions. If a student answers several questions in a row incorrectly, the program will adjust and provide slightly easier questions.

Teachers will continue to use i-Ready to monitor student progress throughout the school year. Students will complete additional assessments using i-Ready in January and in May.
