It is such a great feeling to know when my children go to school they are being cared for and taught by such wonderful staff. I know they are being challenged to grow and learn in a safe and caring environment. Thanks so much.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Alaska used the Standards Based Assessment (SBA) to test students in grades 3 through 10 in reading, math and writing, and in grades 4, 8 and 10 in science. The SBA is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Alaska. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
