2017-2018 Testing Schedule Released For Heights Schools

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, OH — Testing has become a routine part of life for students, teachers and parents. Districts are often judged, by the state and federal government, on test scores. Tests are administered in kindergarten and are continually administered through 12th grade.

To help keep parents in the loop, the Cleveland Heights-University Heights School District has released a comprehensive testing schedule for schools throughout the district. All dates listed are when the testing window opens, not necessarily when the test will be held. Individual principals will have the right to determine when testing begins.

Parents should be able to expect further communication on when testing begins in each school, but this list will give a broad outline on what students and parents can expect throughout the year.
