Comprehensives from ERB

Comprehensive Assessments from ERB provide a powerful, objective lens through which schools can examine the current skills of their students, and help teachers as they foster academic growth. These assessments are usually administered by your student's current school and are designed to drive targeted instruction, spotlight strengths, and identify areas for improvement. Comprehensives results may or may not be shared with parents, depending on each school's policies. Get to know the tests that your student is taking below, and feel free to contact your student's school with any questions.

CTP is a rigorous series of assessments that may include English language arts, mathematics, and science. Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning tests are available for Grades 3 - 11.

Milestone Assessments follow the same standards as the time-tested CTP, but only cover the critical subjects of Reading Comprehension and Mathematics. Focusing on these two subjects enables teachers to gauge student progress accurately across the year without having students sit repeatedly for the much longer CTP.
