Testing at Statesville Montessori

Statesville Montessori School uses standardized testing as a tool to assess each individual student in order for our teachers to better adjust the curriculum to strengthen the student’s academic development.  Our school uses the Terra Nova Achievement Test, a national standardize test, given by teachers near the end of every school year.  The test evaluates reading, vocabulary, language mechanics, mathematics, science, social studies, and spelling. Student performance is based on national results.

Students leaving Statesville Montessori School after the 8th grade entering the public school system are given the North Carolina End of Grade tests and End of Course tests as a courtesy, not a requirement.  In 2013, while public school scores declined, Statesville Montessori School students median score was 98% in math.  Reading performance met expectations for each student.
