ACAP, which stands for the Alabama Comprehensive Assessment Program, is an online assessment designed to provide students, parents, teachers, administrators, and Alabama residents with information regarding student progress toward mastery of the Alabama Course of Study Standards. Students in grades 2-8 take assessments covering English language arts and math. Students in grades 4, 6, and 8 are also tested in science. Each April all 2nd - 8th grade students of Tallassee City Schools will take the assessment. Below are resources to help parents understand what will be tested and there is a link to an online practice website that will show you examples of what the online test will look like. Students may also use the practice test to learn how to use the online testing tools so they may become proficient in the testing format.

The Alabama Literacy Act was passed in 2019 and created to help improve reading in Alabama public schools to ensure students are reading on grade level by the end of the 3rd grade. Reading is the gateway to lifelong achievement and the students of Alabama deserve a strong start on their path to success.
Alabama Legislators voted to delay retention of 3rd grade students until the 2023-2024 school year. The Literacy Act includes strategies, incentives, and interventions specific to the science of reading for grades K-3.
