Comprehensive Science Assessment
"When the ISAT test results were released, our 4th grade Science scores showed a 10% increase from the previous school year. Our 7th grade Science scores showed a 7% increase. Having seen these kinds of results, there was only one question on everyone's lips, "What type of success would we have seen if we had had these materials at the beginning of the school year?"
We look forward to this years test with great anticipation. Options Comprehensive Science Assessment has proven to be a valuable addition to our science program.
