Academic Excellence

National Heritage Academies understands that measuring academic success requires more than just looking at grades on a report card four times a year. As such, all of our schools participate in the standardized test for their respective state. These tests serve to measure our students’ performance against state curriculum standards to ensure our students are receiving the proper instruction.

They also serve as a good way to measure year-over-year progress and compare school performance across an entire state. The data from the state standardized test results are closely evaluated at each of our schools to assess areas of strength and weakness so that we can continually tailor instruction as needed.

We take our testing a step further by administering the Northwest Evaluation Association Test (NWEA) to all of our students. The NWEA is a software-based, computerized test that allows us to effectively measure student achievement and growth throughout the academic year and analyze the results quickly to better target the individual needs of our students. With the NWEA Test, students can be tested at least three times a year, providing a timely and accurate measurement of academic growth. The NWEA is a critical tool for ensuring that our students’ academic needs are being met.
