* The optional assessment of the District offered ACT is mandated by the State of Minnesota. The Warroad School District has approved the fee to be waived for ALL Warroad enrolled students who elect to take the District offered exam. Students may qualify for this option one time in their high school career. It is highly recommended this be taken in their 11th grade year.

The purpose of the Minnesota Assessment System:

1. To measure achievement towards meeting the Minnesota Academic Standards (for the standards based accountability assessments) and to measure progress towards meeting the WIDA English Language Development Standards (for English language proficiency accountability assessments).

2. To measure the academic progress of students over time.

3. To provide Minnesota graduates information related to career and college readiness.
