ERB Testing

Your children are creative, insightful, kind, responsible, and intelligent, and a score report from a standardized test cannot possibly convey all of this information. There is value in looking at trends over time, and the score reports are helpful for our teachers and administrative team as we work together to constantly refine our curriculum and instructional strategies. Reviewing your child’s score reports from year to year will help you to identify your own child’s strengths and challenges. You can help support your child’s success by ensuring that they get a good night’s sleep prior to testing, eat a healthy breakfast, and arrive at school on time each day.
Students in Action
