More on Local Report Cards
The law requires that you, as a parent, be informed of test results so that you can make good decisions about your child's education. Test results are reported in different ways. First, you'll receive a confidential report on how your own child performed on statewide tests. Second, you should see achievement data on your child's school in your school district's report card. Finally, your state will report statewide student achievement information. These report cards will give you important facts about how children from different groups are performing.
