High expectations for academic performance will guide assessment. Performance will be measured with performance-based and portfolio assessment as well as an array of traditional tests and statewide standardized assessments. We anticipate that each
Studio
School student will pass all Mississippi Curriculum Tests and End-of-Course Subject Area Tests during their stay at
Studio
School. These state tests will provide a minimum level of academic performance in
Studio
School.
Studio
School will require a minimum of four design projects per academic year which will be subject to multiple, rigorous peer and expert reviews in the form of juries.
Regular public exhibitions of students’ perfomance called juries and critiques will show and tell what
Studio
School students know and are able to do. Subjective, standardized, local, state, and national tests will be used as only single data points of success indicators and will never be a sole substitute for real performance.
