ʻĪAO SCHOOL 

4/14/24

Each year students in all grades at ʻĪao School take state assessments in ELA (Reading/Writing) and Mathematics. All 8th graders also will take a state Science assessment and our Algebra students take an end-of-course state exam. The school uses these test results to inform our improvement efforts. For students, scores on these state assessments are used to determine eligibility for Honors and/or placement into Workshop classes and other academic support programs the following year. Our schedule is as follows:

April 15-19: Grade 8 ELA

April 22-26: All Grades ELA

April 29-May 3: Grade 6,7 ELA and Grade 8 Science

May 6-10: Algebra

May 13-17: All Grades Math

May 20-24: Makeup Testing

Testing takes place in ELA, Math and Science classes. Our daily bell schedule and lessons in non-testing classes will proceed as normal. Our students are expected to preserve an environment conducive to testing and disruptions will not be tolerated. Please encourage your child to get plenty of sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and do their very best throughout the testing period. Questions may be directed to our Testing Coordinator Mady Kaya at mandy.kaya@k12.hi.us.
