    Maps Growth- Benchmark:

     MAPS Growth Testing starts in the month of September. These assessments will take place in Math and ELA classes, with minimal disruption to their academic day. MAP Growth is the ASD and State of Alaska required benchmark/interim reading and mathematics assessment for students in grades 3-9. Grades 10-12 students identified as needing Tier II and Tier III reading and mathematics support also take MAP Growth as part of the Anchorage School District's MTSS framework. 

    MAP Growth is an online adaptive assessment that provides each student with a personalized testing experience with data that speaks to their progress and growth in mathematics and reading.

    The MAP Growth reading and mathematics benchmark will be administered in person during the 2025-2026 fall and winter benchmark windows.  The spring benchmark will be embedded in the AK STAR summative assessment as outlined above. 

    • Fall Benchmark 1: September 2 - September 12 (make-ups through September 19) 
    • Winter Benchmark 2: December 1 - December 12  (make-ups through December 18)
    • Spring Benchmark 3: embedded in AK STAR, administered during the summative assessment window:  March 30 - April 17  (make-ups through May 1)
      • MAP Growth assessment only: Grades 10-12 identified as needing Tier II and III support
