SBAC Testing Information

About SBAC Testing

Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC) testing is required by Nevada and federal law. This test measures student progress in grades 3-8 towards being prepared for college and career. This test covers the Nevada Academic Content Standards in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

These test results are important for helping teachers and schools understand where students need support in English and Math as well as establishing our school’s STAR rating from the Nevada Report Card.

All SBAC testing must be completed at school, in person, on computers. 

SBAC results do not impact students’ academic grades or promotion to the next grade. They are simply meant to let teachers know what students are learning and where they need more support in order to be ready for success.

SBAC Testing at Odyssey

Students will take the SBAC in the spring of 2024 starting approximately April 2nd. Testing will take place during regular class time. Students’ grade-level teachers will have more specific information later in the school year.
