Achievement/Assessment

Last updated: September 5, 2008

Prior to Education Reform and K-12 regionalization, there was no systematic process for assessing individual student achievement and program performance other than that provided by the state. Support provided through Education Reform has enabled the District to implement a comprehensive assessment program which provides evidence to support the positive long-term effects of Education Reform and K-12 regionalization upon the achievement of Wachusett Regional School District students.
