MEA
READING AND MATH TESTING AND SCIENCE
TESTING IN MAY
As in years past, Maine will be administering Mathematics and Reading tests for students in grade 3 through 8. A State Science Assessment will be given in grades 5 and 8. The MEA (Maine Educational Assessment) testing window for students extends from April 22nd through May 31st. The Science Assessment window is May 13th to May 24th. We encourage students to try their hardest and do their best, while recognizing that any assessment is an in-the-moment snapshot and not the final word on a child’s understanding or skill. Certainly a good night’s sleep and healthy breakfast will go a long way toward minimizing test anxiety and we appreciate your support in this regard.
Beals Elementary School will begin
administering MEA tests beginning
the week of April 29th. We ask that
parents have their children to
school on time and that they have a
good nights rest on nights before
testing days. The school does not
usually receive the test results
back from the state until the summer
or fall.. Individual results will be
shared with parents for their
children in the fall. Please contact
the school with any questions.

Our Core Beliefs and Values:
Student
Assessment
The Beals School
Department utilizes all assessment data to help
inform our practices at the district, school,
classroom and individual levels for our
students. Although we encourage students and
parents to participate fully in our assessment
program, it is important to note that
parents/guardians may opt their child out of state
testing. If you are interested in doing so,
please reach out to your child's principal to make
this request in writing.
