New Albany Elementary carefully tracks the progress and success of their students by traditional classroom assessment techniques,
as well as standardized testing and after school tutoring.
Each year two standardized tests are given to assess student achievement. Students in grades K-1 participate in the Terra Nova
testing program, while students in grades 2-5 are administered the MCT (Mississippi Curriculum Test). Both the Terra Nova,
norm referenced assessment, and the MCT, criterion referenced assessment, are used to obtain valuable information needed to
drive our instructional program.

- To identify and examine areas of strength and weakness in the performance of our students, by individual and grade,
that may have future implications for curriculum change.
- To provide a basis for reports to parents and students.
- To inform our teachers of the needs of their students, resulting in the ability to work toward increasing
student achievement and closing achievement gaps.
