Measuring Up: A Report on Education Standards and Assessments for Oregon

In summer and fall of 1999, at the request of the State Department of Education, Achieve evaluated the quality, rigor and alignment of Oregon's standards and assessments in English and math. Oregon's assessment system included multiple-choice, short-answer and essay tests in 3rd, 5th and 10th grades, as well as a system for assessing some standards at the local level with common assessments.
