A new diagnostic program, Acuity ®, for Mathematics has been purchased for the middle school.
Teachers in grades 6, 7 & 8 will administer periodic diagnostic tests through the use of Acuity ® .
The program will yield data which will allow us to target the specific standards in which a student needs improvement.
