Overview

Local assessments are measures of student progress toward educational objectives and standards. This broad category of assessments is referred to as "local" to distinguish them from statewide assessments, but generally speaking these assessments are more frequent and less high-stakes than statewide assessments, and are defined locally, by a teacher, campus, or district educator. Students will recognize these assessments as quizzes, chapter reviews, unit tests, and final exams.

The Ed-Fi Dashboards ship with specific metrics for benchmark assessments, reading assessments, and learning standards/coursework mastery.
