PASS Assessment

Palmetto Assessment of State Standards (PASS)-Grades 3 to 8

   

The Education Accountability Act of 1998 and the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) require the establishment of a performance-based accountability system. The PASS assessment program was developed for this purpose. PASS includes tests in four subject areas - ELA, mathematics, science, and social studies - for all students in grades three through eight.
