Assessment Testing - Incoming New Students

Assessment Testing Information

We recognize that new students arrive to us from many different backgrounds and types of schools.  To help support the student's academic transition to Saratoga High School, we offer various optional student readiness assessments to new incoming students before the new school year begins

The output of the assessment is a recommendation for the appropriate course, and can be useful for students and families making course selections for the first time at Saratoga High School.

Assessments are optional, and only available for students new to the school in the upcoming school year.

Math Assessment
