ACCESS for ELLs

These assessments are required by the Colorado Department of Education (CDE)

ACCESS for ELLs

For English Language Learners, is an English language proficiency test for English Language Learners (ELLs) administered annually in many states. Under the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015, states are required to assess the English language proficiency of all K-12 English learners. ACCESS is used to assess students' English language proficiency in the four domains: Listening, Reading, Speaking, and Writing. The test helps educators understand the English language development of ELLs and make decisions about appropriate academic support. 

The specific assessments administered will align with current Colorado state statutes and CDE guidelines for each grade level.


In addition to state-mandated assessments, Battle Rock Charter School may administer school-selected assessments to further inform instruction and progress monitoring. 


These may include:

Universal Screeners: Administered periodically to all students to identify those at risk for academic difficulties or demonstrating signs of giftedness ( i-Ready, NNAT, CoGat, PCA ).


School-Selected Assessments

Benchmark Assessments

Formative and Summative Assessments

Formative and Summative Assessments

Administered throughout the school year to gauge student mastery of specific learning objectives. For these benchmark assessments, Battle Rock uses:


i-Ready (Reading & Math)


 This online test helps teachers assess what students know and identify areas where they need additional support. It is not used for grades, just to guide instruction.

Formative and Summative Assessments

Formative and Summative Assessments

Formative and Summative Assessments

Formative Assessments are ongoing, informal assessments integrated into daily instruction (e.g., quizzes, observations, discussions, exit tickets).


Summative Assessments are administered at the end of a unit or grading period to evaluate overall learning (e.g., unit tests, projects).


Formative and Summative Assessments

Parents will be informed about the types of school-selected assessments used and their general purpose.

The Purpose of Assessments

  • Inform Instruction: Data from assessments helps teachers understand student learning, identify areas for improvement, and tailor instruction to meet individual student needs.
  • Monitor Student Progress: Regular assessments allow us to track student growth over time and ensure they are on track to meet academic standards.
  • Evaluate Programs: Aggregate assessment data informs the school's leadership about the effectiveness of our educational programs and helps guide curriculum development.
  • Meet State and Federal Requirements: As a public charter school in Colorado, we are required to administer certain state-mandated assessments to ensure accountability and monitor student achievement across the state.
  • Provide Feedback to Parents: Assessment results are shared with parents to keep them informed about their child's academic performance and progress.

Attendance and Student Performance

Last year, as determined by our I-Ready testing. Students who missed less than 10% of school days grew an average of 30% more in reading and 5% more in math than those who missed more than 10% of school days. 10% of school is equivalent to missing 1 or 2 days per month.
