The ATLAS will be given to students in grades 5-8 at West Fork Middle School. The Federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires states to administer tests in English Language Arts, writing, math and science tests to all students and use the results of those tests to evaluate school and school district performance.
The Arkansas Dynamic Learning Maps (DLM) Alternate Assessment System is designed to evaluate the performance of students with significant cognitive disabilities for whom the aforementioned examinations, administered with or without appropriate accommodations, are not appropriate.
