Overall Satisfaction with NWEA MAP Suite

NWEA MAP is used for benchmark assessment of the students three times per year. I also use the skills checklists for progress monitoring of specific skills in ELA and math. All of the assessments give specifics on what the child knows and does not know. The reports should each date that the child was assessed and keep a "running record" of their scores.
  • The NWEA MAP assessment questions directly align to college and career standards.
  • The NWEA MAP assessment questions are rigorous and students must show a depth of knowledge.
  • The reports are extremely useful. I especially like that it reports the effort of the student.
  • NWEA MAP has technical issues during prime testing times (fall, winter, and spring). It is as if the system gets overloaded and cannot handle all of the students logged on at once.
  • I would like to be able to see the reports immediately. Currently, you have to wait until the next day for the scores to be available.
  • Direct alignment to our state standards.
  • It can predict achievement to the state assessment and ACT.
  • The questions are rigorous and align to the college and career ready standards.
  • NWEA MAP is a valuable tool for our district in terms of assessment data. I do not deal with the money directly, but from the teacher standpoint, it is a quality product.
NWEA MAP Suite is more directly aligned to our college and career readiness state standards and ACT. The questions are more rigorous than Renaissance Star Assessments. The reports on the NWEA MAP Suite are more detailed and exact in where the data came from.

NWEA MAP is a great assessment for 1st grade and up. It directly aligns with the college and career standards. It can predict achievement on the ACT and state assessments. NWEA MAP used with kindergarten is not as aligned. It is very difficult for new kindergarteners to take. Most students guess because the assessment gets very long for them. It is a great assessment for the middle of the year for high achievers and at the end of the year for all students who are entering 1st grade.
