Illinois Science Assessment (ISA)

What is Illinois Science Assessment (ISA)?

To comply with federal testing requirements, Illinois will administer the Illinois Science Assessment (ISA) to students enrolled in grades 5, 8 and once at the high school level. The ISA will be given online, and the high school assessment uses a course-based model with content aligned to Biology I. Illinois has an item-sharing agreement with the Office of the State Superintendent in the District of Columbia and is working in partnership with D.C. to develop the ISA.
