What is i-Ready?
The i-Ready Diagnostic is an assessment designed to adjust to each student’s needs. The assessment provides individualized data used to determine how to best support each student’s learning. It’s given three times in the school year, and those dates can be found in our district testing calendar. Assessment data is used to personalize instruction with lessons based on individual skill level and needs. i-Ready assessments are given to students in K-8th grade and are optional for 9th grade.
Why is i-Ready a requirement?
South Carolina Legislature Act 213 requires all districts and charter schools to conduct universal screening and report the results to the SC Department of Education. South Carolina Legislature Proviso 1.96 names i-Ready as a state-approved assessment.
