Assessment

At Wyandotte Public Schools, we believe in using a balanced approach to assess student learning. By utilizing different types of assessments, teachers can make informed decisions to meet the needs of every student. Michigan's standardized assessments also help us understand how well students are meeting career and college readiness standards.

Our balanced system of assessments is a key part of providing a well-rounded education for all students. These assessments effectively measure what students have learned and help monitor their progress toward being ready for college and careers.
