About Our Assessment
Our free assessment is an adaptive evaluation that measures your child's current reading and math levels. Unlike traditional tests with a set list of questions, our assessment adjusts to your child's responses - getting harder when they answer correctly and easier when they struggle.
This approach allows us to quickly and accurately identify exactly where your child is academically, without frustrating them with too many questions that are too hard or too easy.

Understanding Performance Levels
Above Grade Level
Your child is performing ahead of typical expectations for their grade. We can provide enrichment activities and more challenging content to keep them engaged and growing.
At Grade Level
Your child is right where they should be! Tutoring can help reinforce skills and prevent gaps from forming, especially during challenging units.
Below Grade Level
Your child has some gaps that need to be addressed. This is very common and nothing to worry about - with targeted support, most students can catch up quickly. Identifying these gaps early is the key to success!

Remember
The assessment is a snapshot of where your child is RIGHT NOW. It's not a prediction of their potential or a judgment of their intelligence. With the right support, every child can make significant progress!
