RISE
The Readiness Improvement Success Empowerment (RISE) computer-adaptive assessments in English language arts (ELA), math and science, provide questions that assess students’ ability to apply higher-order thinking skills and better emulate real tasks students may encounter in education and in life.
Development of RISE assessments came through a joint effort of Utah teachers, parents, test development experts, and the Utah State Board of Education (USBE). The RISE assessment, together with the state’s suite of assessments in grades K-12, provide information that assists in determining students’ progress towards preparing for college and careers upon completion of secondary school. Due to the school soft closure in March 2020, scores are not available for the 2019-20 school year.
| Test Subject | 2020-21 | 2021-22 | 2022-23 | 2023-24 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Language Arts | 42.2% | 36.4% | 42.5% | 46.4% |
| Mathematics | 41.7% | 35.8% | 37.8% | 40.4% |
| Science | 46.4% | 46.7% | 50.5% | 53.7% |
School Accountability Report Cards
The Utah State Board of Education (USBE) issues an annual School Accountability Report Card for each public school. Elementary and middle school report cards have four main grade categories: achievement, growth, English learner progress, and growth of the lowest 25%. Achievement and growth calculations come from the RISE assessment for grades 3-8 and the Utah Aspire Plus assessment for grades 9-10. The English learner progress category score derive from the annual administration of the WIDA ACCESS test, which assesses students’ academic language proficiency in English.
The state’s School Accountability Report Cards inform educators, parents, and community stakeholders about school performance as they work collaboratively to improve student outcomes. Due to the school soft closure in March 2020, scores are not available for the 2019-20 and the 2020-21 school years.
