Testing and Diagnostics
SRI (Scholastic Reading Inventory) SRI is a reading comprehension test that
assesses students’ reading ability. Tests are taken periodically throughout the
year and then tracked by the individual’s teacher.
Each test is adaptive and will adjust to each of the students’ responses. (Difficulty level of questions change based on student performance)
Information is then used to help teams and administrators make decisions for remediation and acceleration. Table of

Testing and Diagnostics
ALEKS ALEKS is a web-based math assessment and
learning system. Adaptive questioning is also used with this
program. This test will figure out exactly what type of
information the learner needs help with, and then start training the learner in those areas.
Periodically, the ALEKS program will reassess the learner to see if information is being retained.
Also available: One-on-one instruction from 24/7 from all web-based computers.
