Middle School Testing

Chrystal M. Myers
Dear Middle School Parents,

Grades 5 through 7 will take the digital version of the CTP5, often referred to as the ERB (published by the Educational Records Bureau), during the week of April 29 through May 2nd. This standardized test is administered by independent schools across the nation and is used to gather information about the school’s instructional program and individual student data. We will test from 8:00 to 9:55 a.m. Monday through Thursday.  
 
This test generates individual reports detailing each child’s level of understanding in critical areas of the curriculum and verbal and quantitative reasoning skills. This assessment provides the school with information to help guide our instructional goals.
 
We must all remember that scores on a standardized achievement test are only one benchmark of your child’s learning and progress. Unlike high-stakes testing, there is no preparation for the CTP5. However, a good night's sleep and a hearty breakfast will fuel the brain to work at its best. Also, please help ensure that your child’s Chromebook is fully charged. 
 
If an absence occurs due to illness or a family emergency, we will schedule a time during the school day for your child to make up the missed sections of the test.

Parents will receive copies of the scores as soon as they are available.  Once you receive them, please schedule an appointment for guidance on interpreting the results, if needed.

Respectfully, 

Chrystal M. Myers
Head of Middle School
