KY Core Content Tests

This week our students will be taking the Kentucky Core Content Tests, the benchmarking tests for Kentucky schools to determine if they are meeting the academic needs of students.

The juniors will be taking tests in mathematics, science, and social studies; while the sophomores will be taking tests in reading.

These school-wide assessments are very important for two reasons:
  1. They can serve as a predictor of a student’s college readiness and provide some very valuable information on a student’s strengths and weaknesses before they enter their next year of high school.
  2. These tests are a measure of our school’s academic performance and it provides valuable information about each student that we use for instructional purposes.
Good luck to our juniors and sophomores as they continue the tradition of academic excellence at Ryle High School.
