NeSA English Language Arts, Math and Science Testing
February 01, 2016
Juniors will be taking the statewide NeSA Reading test on March 23, the English Language Art (ELA) transition test on March 24, the NeSA Math test on March 30, and the NeSA Science test on April 20. The tests will be an online test for most students – some students will take a paper/pencil test. The NeSA ELA will be replacing the NeSA Reading test next year.
The results are scored by the Nebraska State Department of Education and will be used to help schools measure student progress in meeting the state reading, math, and science standards. Students will be scored as advanced, proficient or beginning.
At school, students have prepared for this assessment by studying diligently in reading and language arts, math, and science and by taking practice tests, Check4Learning assessments and classroom quizzes and tests.
The Statewide NeSA tests are one sample of the skills students have learned during the school years and do provide valuable information about how well students are doing. The NeSA tests are a standardized test used as a snapshot of how well students have learned the Nebraska high school standards in writing, reading, math, and science. Any third year high school student enrolled at Johnson County Central during the testing window will take these assessments.
If you have any questions, please contact your school counselor, principal, or classroom teachers.
