Welcome to Harlem Assessments
Assessments are an important part of the teaching and learning process. At Harlem School District, we use a balanced assessment system to better understand each student's strengths, identify areas for growth, guide instruction, and monitor academic progress. Our goal is not simply to measure learning—but to improve it.
This page provides families with information about district, state, and classroom assessments, including when assessments are administered, what they measure, and how the results are used to support student success. We encourage families to partner with us by understanding the purpose of these assessments and discussing results with their child's teacher.
Together, assessments help us ensure every student receives the support and opportunities they need to reach their unlimited potential.
