Learning

The dedicated teachers and staff at Merritt Trace Elementary  are deeply committed to ensuring that all students experience the challenge of pursuing excellence in academics and refining talents and skills to realize his or her full potential.

All students take the ISIP assessment for English Language Arts at the beginning of every month. Teachers use this data to monitor reading progress and provide students with support for reading. Our TWBI students take the ISIP in Spanish every other month.

Students in grades 3-5 take NWEA math assessments five times a year to measure their progress in mathematics. This assessment is used to support teaching and learning and is one part of determining middle school math placement.

Teachers provide additional assessments for content and standards throughout the year.

3rd-5th grade students take the standardized state test, and English Language Learners take the ELPAC until they reclassify.
