Test Results

Croydon Village School uses several methods of performance assessment.

NH SAS

In September 2017, the New Hampshire Department of Education announced that the American Institutes for Research (AIR) had been approved as the statewide assessment vendor for English Language Arts (ELA) and mathematics in grades 3–8, and science in grades 5, 8, and 11.

Since that time, the New Hampshire Statewide Assessment System (NH SAS) has served as the official assessment for ELA and mathematics across the state and at Croydon Village School. These computer-adaptive tests are aligned to the NH Academic Standards and are designed to reflect the state’s educational priorities.

Croydon Village School (CVS) tests the third and fourth grade students in the spring of each school year, and the latest published proficiency numbers are as follows:

Acadience Reading Assessment

Acadience is a universal screener that consists of several short tests given to children in order to screen and monitor their progress in learning necessary skills required to become successful readers. This helps our teachers identify students who are at risk for not meeting grade-level learning goals. Universal screeners are given at the beginning, middle, and end of each school year. Below please find the most recent results:

• Well above proficient: 4 students

CORE Phonics Survey

The Core Phonics Survey assesses pre-reading skills such as decoding skills. The survey is done individually with each student.  The students are asked to read the words independently. 

There are 15 words in each section: ten (10) real words and four (4) pseudo words. If a student cannot correctly read twelve (12) or more in a section, the survey ends. 

Below is data for the whole class. For example in October of 2024, the whole class read 216 CVC words correctly. In March 2025, they read 223. They got more correct the first time, this results in less room for growth. However, in October 2024 the whole class read 63 R controlled vowel words, many students didn’t make it to this section of the test. In comparison, in March 2025 the class read 171 R-controlled vowel words, which means they read more words correctly and completed a larger portion of the survey. 

• CVC Words: 216 in Oct ’24, 223 in Mar ’25
• Consonant Blends with Short Vowels: 140 in Oct ’24, 198 in Mar ’25
