    Assessments used in Missouri are designed to measure how well students acquire the skills and knowledge described in Missouri’s Learning Standards (MLS). The assessments yield information on academic achievement at the student, class, school, district, and state levels. This information is used to diagnose individual student strengths and weaknesses in relation to the instruction of the MLS and to gauge the overall quality of education throughout Missouri. All assessments are administered online unless determined by an IEP/504 plan or otherwise noted.
