Assessment

Army and Navy Academy has three grading periods per semester, each covering five to six weeks. A final exam is given each semester. The short grading period ensures constant tracking of student learning.

Each teacher is allowed flexibility in the variety of assessment methods that can be used in any one grading period, but department heads review grading policies for consistency and fairness. The methods of assessment for personal growth and progress include quizzes, tests, homework assignments, projects, and participation. Standardized testing every year also helps advisors and parents assess cadet progress. Middle School and ninth grade cadets take the ERB, tenth graders take the PSAT, and eleventh and twelfth graders take the SAT.

"I sent you a gentle, kind, caring, intelligent, disorganized child who repeatedly had been diagnosed with various "learning disabilities de jour."  At Thanksgiving vacation, you sent me back a self-confident, happy and proud young man literally marching into adulthood, maturity and leadership.  Cameron always has dreamed of attending Annapolis.  As much as he has been the child of my heart, until now it has been difficult to encourage him without having reservations about his ability to achieve his dreams.  How can I thank you for helping him find the way?"

Patricia Kyle Carlson, mother of Cadet Cameron Carlson Class of 2004
