High School ISASP Information
The annual Iowa Statewide Assessment of Student Progress (ISASP) will begin at Southeast Polk High School on Tuesday, April 7. This online assessment is administered to 10th and 11th grade students and measures progress toward state standards in mathematics, reading, and writing. In addition, 10th grade students will complete a science assessment.
Students will need to bring a fully charged Chromebook each testing day.
Testing Locations
Most students will complete ISASP testing in their normal RAM Time location with their RAM Time teacher. Students who do not have a RAM Time assignment or who will not be testing in their normal RAM Time location will be notified of their designated testing location. Please see your RAM Time teacher or school counselor if you have questions
Testing Schedule
Testing will take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays over a two-week period, following the regular MTSS period. Each test is untimed, though most students should be able to complete it within 75 minutes.
Students who require additional time may continue testing in the Multipurpose Room after the scheduled session.
