Predictive Benchmark Assessments Deliver Measurable Results

Multiple districts cite the strong correlation between CASE Benchmark Assessment scores and their students’ achievement on summative tests.

Proven impact

Using the CASE Benchmarks, educators benefit from valuable data to help guide instructional interventions and adjustments. This data, combined with targeted formative assessment throughout the course of the school year, create the foundation for measurable improvement.
