Student Evaluation Methodologies
Student Testing
Epiphany uses many different methods, both quantitative and qualitative, to assess student growth.
In addition, for standardized measurement against national norms, all students are given the Stanford 10 Test yearly. Individual students are given comprehensive testing as necessary. In addition, for internal use we administer the STAR Math Diagnostic Test and Report and the QRI-3 (Qualitative Reading Inventory). Through these various tests, we are able to understand more fully the skills and abilities with which our students enter so as to serve them best, both individually and collectively.
Other Student Assessment
Epiphany students are evaluated every six weeks as part of our curriculum through formal progress reports and grades and organized parent conferences. Benchmarks for each grade and subject have been established with accompanying tests to measure achievement. Faculty discussions take place weekly at faculty meeting. Within classes, teachers constantly check their students’ progress, whether through traditional methods such as SRA Reading Kits or through more innovative means of assessment (e.g. portfolio review). In short, our faculty and staff are constantly evaluating our students to assess their individual learning styles, needs, and progress. Epiphany’s administration and staff have worked diligently to ensure our curriculum compares favorably with other schools, including those both private and public.
