Assessment
Legacy Prep uses assessments as the driving force to guide daily instruction, monitor students’ learning, and provide personalized instruction based on student needs. Although assessing students is an ongoing process that requires intentionality, Legacy Prep understands that effective utilization and analysis of student data is the bridge to providing targeted instruction. There are 4 assessments that Legacy Schools use across the district for all grade levels: iReady, NWEA MAP Growth, ACAP Practice, and ACAP Summative.
