Middle School Testing

Students in Grades 5 through 7 will take the digital version of the CTP5 (Comprehensive Testing Program, Edition 5), commonly referred to as the ERB, from Monday, April 28, through Thursday, May 1. This standardized assessment, developed by the Educational Records Bureau, is widely used by independent schools across the country to assess both instructional programs and individual student performance.

The CTP5 provides detailed insights into each student’s understanding in core academic areas, along with their verbal and quantitative reasoning skills. These results are instrumental in helping our faculty make informed decisions about curriculum planning and student support.

Please note that the CTP5 is not a high-stakes test and does not require specific preparation. However, we kindly ask that you help your child be well-rested, enjoy a healthy breakfast, and arrive at school on time with a fully charged Chromebook each day to ensure they are prepared to do their best.

If your child is absent due to illness or a family emergency, we will schedule a makeup session during the school day to complete any missed assessment sections.

Score Reports: Parents will receive individual student reports as soon as they become available. If you would like assistance interpreting the results, please don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment with us.

Thank you for your continued support in fostering a positive and productive testing experience for our students.

Warm regards,

Chrystal M. Myers

Head of Middle School
