IReady Testing is an assessment that District 204 students take 3 times per year as a Reading and Math benchmark. In the Fall, Winter, and Spring students will be assessed during the school day.

Fall 2023 Dates are: 9/6 & 9/7.

The IReady testing schedule can be accessed at this link.

The College Board PSAT 8/9 will be administered to all 8th grade students during the school day. Dates coming soon for 2023-24.  Please help us ensure that students are present to take the PSAT as there will also be no make-up testing. The best preparation for students is to get a good night’s sleep and eat a healthy breakfast before coming to school.

The AIMSWEB assessment has been replaced during the 2022 school year with a new district assessment tool called I Ready.  All middle schools have made this change. 
Scores became available for the winter benchmark for this assessment during March of 2022 online in ParentVue. 

Crone students will take the I Ready assessment again during the Spring of 2022, and will then have two scores available.
