The Princeton Review
Formative Assessment
Programs
Why do we do what we do?
We believe…
•
Tests do not improve student outcomes;
informed instructional practice does.
•
Valid, actionable data can be used to inform
instruction and determine the need for
intervention.
•
Regular, reliable formative assessments will
provide teachers and administrators with that
actionable data.

EOC Assessments
 To graduate, students on the Recommended &
Distinguished HS Plans must attain a cumulative
score of at least 210 per subject area.
 To graduate, students on the Minimum Plan must
attain a cumulative score of at least 70 multiplied by
the number of courses they take in which an EOC
assessment exists. This varies by subject area from
210 for English to 140 for mathematics to possibly as
low as 70 for science.
