Joliet Public Schools District 86 Assessment Information

The federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires states to assess their learning standards for English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science. Each state may also have a general assessment for the majority of its students, and an alternate assessment for the 1 percent of students with the most significant cognitive disabilities. ESSA also requires that English learners be assessed in four domains (reading, writing, speaking, and listening) each year until they reach proficiency.
