Summer School

The utilization of extended learning opportunities, including summer school, aligned to the Missouri Learning Standards (MLS), may be used by local education agencies (LEAs) to improve the academic performance of students. LEAs may hold summer school programs any time between the close of the regular school term and the beginning of the next regular term. LEAs with a “year-round” regular term schedule may conduct an approved component of summer school during the breaks in the regular term.

The Assessment Section manages test development, on-going test maintenance, and oversees the test administration for four statewide, large-scale assessments. The MAP assessments test students’ progress toward mastery of the Missouri Show-Me Standards.
