Can I use easyCBM with high school students?

easyCBM assessments are aligned to content and performance standards for grades K–8. As such, we do not offer on-grade benchmark testing for high school students (grades 9–12).

Benchmark tests are designed to screen whether a student is performing at their enrolled grade level or not. They do not tell you what grade a student is performing at. Using these tests with off-grade students—such as those in high school—will tell you what you already know.

Instead, to help determine which grade level your student is performing at, use our progress monitoring measures. You can assign any grade level progress monitoring test to students. While we don’t have a single test you can give students to determine their grade-level performance, there is a process you can use to help find the most appropriate grade level assessments.

For detailed information on progress monitoring and how to select the best test for your students, please click the link: easyCBM User's Manual and go to page 9 (Progress Monitoring Measures) or consult the Help Desk topic: Which grade progress monitoring test should I give?
