The Another Choice Virtual School District (ACVS) uses a variety of Summative Assessments to help our district continuously improve. Summative assessments are usually completed at the end of a unit or course. Summative assessments can be products such as chapter tests, final exams, projects, portfolios or presentations. The District is in the process of identifying key common assessments for each unit in a grade level or course. District common assessments are aligned to state standards and inform teachers, schools and the district whether our students are mastering the content required by the State of Idaho throughout the school year.

District common assessments help prepare ACVS students for state-required summative assessments. State-required summative assessments provide information to the schools, the district and the state on how Idaho students are performing in comparison to students in other schools, districts and states.

Data from assessments is used to help ACVS District accomplish our mantra of “Another Choice Virtual Charter School strives to be Idaho’s model virtual school offering students the utmost in educational quality for an individualized flexible education that prepares Idaho’s future citizens for career and/or college readiness”.
