About the Tests

In 2006-2007 Idaho used the Idaho Standards Achievement Test (ISAT) to test students in grades 2 through 10 in reading, math and language usage and in grades 5, 7 and 10 in science.
The scores from the spring administration for grades 3 through 10 are displayed on GreatSchools profiles.
The grade 10 ISAT is a high school graduation requirement.
The ISAT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering the specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Idaho.
The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.

The grade 10 ISAT is a high school graduation requirement.
The ISAT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering the specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Idaho.
The different student groups are identified by the Idaho Department of Education. If there are fewer than 11 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.
The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
