[Jesper Sahu]

AtKeystone, we support each student's unique strengths and interests with an engaging middle school curriculum that helps students master lesson objectives and prepare for high school. Keystone middle school curriculum is based on a learner-centered model that draws from current educational research, designed to help diverse learners thrive.

As you incorporate Keystone middle school curriculum into your student's learning plan, placement exams can help you determine the best courses in math and language arts. By taking the time to have your child complete one or more of our middle school placement tests, you can better determine which level math or language arts course will be the best fit.

Students should be given at least one hour to complete each middle school placement test in an area with little to no distractions. If they cannot complete the exam in one sitting, plan on finishing it in no more than two sessions.

Take a short amount of time prior to beginning the exam to set up your child's work area, avoiding high traffic areas of your home. Be sure your child has access to paper and pencils so you don't have to search for these items when needed.

Your child should do their own work with no outside resources or support from family or friends. If your child doesn't do their own work, the results will not accurately reflect their placement level and they may enroll in a course for which they are not ready.

Once all appropriate exams have been completed, course selections can be made. Be sure to refer to the Results Table for additional suggestions for choosing courses. After choosing your courses, view the course catalog for course details.

Advanced Placement (AP) Exams - are multiple-component tests that are administered at high schools each May.

Each AP Exam has a corresponding AP course and provides a standardized measure of what students have learned in the AP classroom.

Preliminary SAT (PSAT) - is a standardized test that provides firsthand practice for the SAT. PSAT is given to students in grade 9, 10, and 11. It measures critical reading skills, math problem-solving skills and writing skills.

SAT and SAT Subject Tests - these exams provide a path to opportunities, financial support, and scholarships. It tests your knowledge of reading, writing and math.

National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) - is administered by the commissioner of Education Statistics from the United States Department of Education and is an assessment used to measure what American students know and can do. It is given to students in grades 4, 8, and 12, across states and urban districts, as randomly selected by the United States Department of Education. Not all schools are selected each year and if a school district is selected, not all grades may be tested.

Chapter 4 provides for the right of any parents/guardians to excuse his/her child from the assessment if, upon inspection of the testing materials, he/she finds the assessment to be in conflict with his/her religious beliefs. This is the only basis under Chapter 4 rules for parent/guardian to excuse his or her child from statewide assessments.

If after reviewing the assessment, parents/guardians find the test to be in conflict with their religious beliefs and wish their student(s) to be excused from the test, the parents/guardians must provide a written request to excuse the child based on religious beliefs. The written objection must be addressed to the Superintendent, but submitted directly to the building principal.

If the student is excused from the state assessment due to parent or guardian request, school personnel will provide a alternative learning environment (this may include the administration of a local assessment) for the student throughout the assessment window.

Students who do not participate in the assessment due to parent or guardian request will negatively affect the school's participation rate and can potentially have a negative impact on the school's accountability status.

Generally, if a student can receive instruction, then they are also able to participate in state assessments; however, the health and well-being of students should take priority in determining whether they can participate.

Examples include, but are not limited to, a student who is 1) receiving short-term medical treatment due to a medical emergency; or 2) seriously ill or has a medical condition that prevents them from receiving instruction during the testing window.
