Addressing District Assessment

Needs: Using the Iowa Assessments™

Just as every student has different learning needs, each school or district has different needs for its assessment programs. Testing matters, because you deserve to know everything you can about your students.

The Iowa Assessments deliver the data you need to answer critical questions and address specific needs at the local level. The Iowa Assessments provide flexibility to meet various assessment needs, such as:


  • Assessing students in science at all grades  

  • Identifying student strengths and weaknesses in K - 2  

  • Screening students for enrichment and intervention programs  

  • Knowing where to focus efforts in preparation for the new ISASP  

  • Comparing students to the nation using National Percentile Ranks  

  • Maintaining trend lines for long-term planning  


Iowa Testing Programs provides sound, accurate, and actionable information for a variety of purposes and audiences, including:
  • Measuring student achievement at the most appropriate level
  • Monitoring student growth
  • Making relative comparisons
  • Informing decisions about students
  • Predicting future performance

Assessments designed and developed by Iowa Testing Programs are informed by empirical research studies conducted both nationally and in the state of Iowa.
