Criterion Referenced Test Scores
EPS students met all state benchmarks!

The Oklahoma Core Curriculum Tests assess students' knowledge of certain skills and information, specifically the Priority Academic Student Skills objectives established by the Oklahoma State Department of Education. Students earn their scores based on their knowledge of given benchmarks.

The test results, provided to parents each year, include the following information: the percentage of satisfactory answers, advanced answers, limited-knowledge answers and unsatisfactory answers.

At the secondary level, state mandates require that End-of-Instruction tests be conducted at the conclusion of certain courses. The score is recorded on the student's transcript.

Test results are important teaching tools. They can be used to analyze a student's strengths and weaknesses, as well as to assist in identifying any special placement the child may need. Teachers also can use the test scores to determine what material they may need to cover more thoroughly.
