The MAAP assesses students' proficiency in core academic subjects such as Science, Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Social Studies to ensure they meet the educational standards set by the state.
The primary purpose of MAAP is to evaluate how well students have learned the material according to state standards and to identify areas where improvements may be needed.
Schools use MAAP results to inform teaching strategies, identify students who need additional support, and improve overall educational practices to enhance student learning outcomes
The ELA portion of the MAAP focuses on assessing students' reading comprehension, writing abilities, and language usage, which are critical skills for academic success in all subjects.
The MAAP is administered to students from 3rd through 8th grade and at the high school level to evaluate their academic progress and readiness for the next grade or post-secondary education.
