About the Test 

The End of Course (EOC) exams are summative in nature.  The goal of the EOCs is to evaluate student learning at the end of the course and compare it against the course standards that were taught.  

Testing Windows 

The administration windows for the tests are listed in the table below. The state has provided the district with broad testing windows.    To find out when your child will take his/her assessment, please contact your child’s school.
