LCHS students take the NWEA Reading, Language, and Math tests in the fall and spring from 7th grade through 10th grade. Juniors take the fall NWEA but not the spring. These tests are useful for internal diagnostics, placements, and allocation of services. Since students take the NWEA in grade school as well at LCS, it provides significant longitudinal data that helps us assess programs, curriculum changes, and a host of other issues.
