CONCORD — The New Hampshire Department of Education released preliminary results from the 2019 statewide assessment. The assessment measures student proficiency in Math and English and Language Arts for grades 3-8 and Science for grades 5, 8, and 11. The SAT serves as the 11th grade assessment in Math and English and Language Arts.

Assessments are designed to measure student proficiency of state academic standards. Educators established these standards with the approval of the State Board of Education in 2009 based on what it believes students need to know to be “college and career” ready. Curriculum is then designed around those standards and becomes the basis for classroom instruction. Local educators then have the opportunity to review assessment test questions, and set the threshold for proficiency at each grade level.
