Nevada has built its accountability system on high-quality standards and assessments that are aligned to college and careers.
The state uses the Common Core State Standards and Smarter Balanced assessments in grades 3-8, and in high school it uses end-of-course exams, which help ensure that students are assessed on the full range of high school standards.
Nevada has taken steps to address low performance and graduation rate for students with disabilities.
Nevada recently passed legislation offering more robust post-secondary opportunities to students with disabilities and limiting the number of students assessed using the state’s alternate assessment.
