Information

ACT Aspire image

Wisconsin students in grades 9 and 10 will be participating in the ACT Aspire assessment during the April 5 - May 19, testing window. State assessments, including Aspire, are required by both State (Wisconsin State Statute s. 118.30) and Federal (Every Student Succeeds Act) Law. Participation in State assessments can help determine the impact the pandemic has had on academic achievement and equity. Equitable testing is important because clearly knowing the performance of all students is the first step in closing achievement gaps. We must know exactly which gaps exist, the size of the gaps, and the persistence of the gaps. You will receive specific information about testing dates from Mr. Dillin.

In-person assessment is the only viable method for the state assessments. The company who produces the test has no remote (virtual) testing option available. Proctored, on-site testing ensures standardized administration that includes equitable access to technology and optimal testing environments, test security, and validity. We are taking every precaution to ensure a safe testing environment. We are following procedures recommended by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) and Department of Health Services (DHS) including social distancing, flexible schedules and the frequent sanitization of student spaces and equipment.

The Aspire tests students in the areas of English, Reading, Math, Science, and Writing. One or more subtests may be administered daily during our selected time frame. Please make sure students are healthy before sending them to school. Please keep students home who are ill or have been exposed to COVID-19. Students not in school on testing days will be scheduled for a make-up test prior to the close of the testing window. Enclosed is an ACT High School Assessments Information for Families brochure that gives more information about the assessment including its purpose, what scores will be provided, and how the scores will be used.

The Aspire assessment measures the knowledge and skills students should have for their grade-level and scores predict how a student will perform on the ACT when they reach 11th grade. Students who need academic interventions or challenges can be identified earlier in their high school careers. Their performance on the assessment will not affect their grades. Please encourage students to take the test seriously and do the best they can. The results of these tests will be used to help school staff make determinations regarding curriculum, placement, and services to best support students.

Please see additional resources on your right.
