Assessment Information

  • The purpose of the assessment program at Shiloh Middle School is to measure student achievement relative to the state and the Gwinnett County School System's Academic, Knowledge and Skills (AKS), to identify students failing to achieve mastery of content, to provide teachers with diagnostic information, and to assist in identifying strengths and weaknesses in order to establish priorities in planning educational programs.

  • iReady

    The iReady Universal Screener is administered to all students in Kindergarten through eighth grade.

    Universal screeners will allow teachers to identify students in need of enrichment/acceleration or who are at risk for poor learning outcomes.

    Universal screeners seek to find areas of skills that need to be improved or areas of skills that are strong. 

    Universal screeners are used to help teachers formulate the next steps needed in instruction. 

    Student scores on the universal screeners will be used as a first step in identifying students who qualify for additional tests for gifted identification.
