Accountability & Testing

 
North Carolina's Annual Testing Program is coordinated with the NC Standard Course of Study which sets North Carolina schools' curriculum and reflects high standards for student achievement.
 

The mission of the NCDPI Office of Accountability and Testing is to promote the academic achievement of all North Carolina public school students and to assist stakeholders in understanding and gauging this achievement against state and national standards. The major thrust of this mission is three-fold: the design and development of reliable and valid assessment instruments, the uniform implementation of and access to suitable assessment instruments for all students; and the provision of accurate and statistically appropriate reports.
