AIMSWEB Testing

Aimsweb is a web-based program for universal screening, progress monitoring, and data management for students in grades K – 12.  Aimsweb provides the framework, data, and guidance that administrators and teachers need to efficiently allocate and evaluate core instruction and interventions, helping them improve outcomes for all students—based on accurate, continuous, and direct student assessment.

Aimsweb testing is typically administered three times a year.  With more regular student performance data, the school can guide the teaching and learning process and provide relevant reports to parents.

Positive aspects of Aimsweb:

• • Brief:  The assessments take a minimal amount of time to administer, resulting in less instructional time that is lost.
  • Easy to administer and score: The testing and scoring can be done by the classroom teacher. There are many forms of the test available for more frequent testing.
  • Comprehensive: Tests cover skills in reading, math, and language arts.
  • Useful: Results can be used by the school to track student progress and share with parents.

The test is administered to the elementary students three times each school year (October, January, and April).  Those who show areas of concern may be assessed a few extra times in between the regular times to evaluate progress.
