District 25 Parents and Staff -
Based on feedback from states, districts, and teachers, the governing board of PARCC (state testing for grades 3-8) announced several changes for the 2015-16 PARCC test:
- Consolidation of the two testing windows for English language arts and math, formerly the Performance-Based Assessment and the End-of-Year exam, into one.
- Reduction of the number of test units from eight or nine, depending on grade level, to six or seven.
- Reduction of testing time for most students by 90 minutes.
The district will continue to pass along relevant details and information as it develops. For additional information please click on this link for a PDF titled PARCC Test Design Changes
