Cognia Assessments (Grade 3 – 8) are based on English language academic standards that reflect what students are expected to learn for their grade level.  Results from these assessments will identify areas in which the student is doing well and will show what additional support or instruction might be needed in other areas.

All assessments are aligned to widely used college and career readiness standards such as Common Core State Standards.  The assessments provide information about a student's academic progress toward grade-level standards, with an emphasis on critical thinking.

During 2021/2022 DUSK will administer Cognia Assessment Language Use and Reading sessions; in November 2021, January/February 2022 and April 2022.
