Manchester School District was notified today that students at Beech
Street and McDonough elementary schools and Central High School who started the computer-based
Smarter Balanced assessment on March 16 took the incorrect versions of
the assessment because of an error by the Smarter Balanced vendor in providing
a clear assessment selection process. Our students took practice assessments. By yesterday afternoon, the vendor became aware of the issue, which also affected other
schools in the state, and changed the way the selection process looks on the screen.
The New Hampshire Department of Education has assured
Manchester School District that our three schools administered the assessment
properly based on the information available at the time the test began. The
same third graders at McDonough took the correct Smarter Balanced assessment
today. Central High School and Beech Street will reschedule the
correct version of the assessment for yesterday’s groups of students.
