    Arizona's Academic Standards Assessment (AASA)

    AASA is the statewide achievement test for Arizona students in Grades 3-8.  All Arizona public school students in Grades 3 - 8 will take the grade level AASA assessments in English Language Arts, Writing and Mathematics.

    Students in Grade 5 will take the AZSci (Arizona's Science Test). 

    Students in Grade 3 will take the AASA ORF (Oral Reading Fluency).

     

    To help ensure that your child is fully prepared for the spring assessments, we have provided some helpful tips:

    • Schedule any appointments outside the testing window.  Once a student has started an assessment, the testing session cannot be interrupted and students cannot be signed out!  Schedule appointments on days your child is NOT tested.

    • Make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep the night before each testing session.

    • Ensure your child eats a healthy breakfast with protein and carbohydrates at home or at school (cafeteria breakfast) so their brain is “fed” and ready to work!

    • Make sure your child is healthy and ready to test. Make-up testing dates are available in case of medical emergencies and/or other illnesses.
