MAP Testing

- Measurement of Academic Progress (MAP) Testing
  
  Lourdes Academy Elementary and Middle School utilizes the Measurement of Academic Progress (MAP) testing. The computer-based examinations are administered semi-annually, once in the fall and again in the spring, to accomplish the following:
  
  to give students and their parents an opportunity to see how students perform in comparison with other students in the nation
  
  to assist teachers in individualizing and differentiating their instruction
  
  to help identify areas of strengths and weaknesses in the curriculum
  
  to help students develop a realistic self-concept in terms of their achievements, aptitude, and interests
