Local Assessments
If local assessments are used, a State must:
- Document that all local assessments used for school accountability
- Are equivalent to one another in content coverage, difficulty and quality
- Have comparable validity and reliability with respect to student subgroups
- Provide unbiased, rational, and consistent determinations of annual progress of schools and districts
