* The CWRA has pioneered the use of performance-based assessments, measuring critical-thinking, analysis and problem solving, scientific and quantitative reasoning, writing, critical reading and evaluation, writing effectiveness and mechanics, and the ability to critique and construct arguments. Student CWRA results can be used for formative purposes to evaluate students’ strengths or areas requiring further attention. Test results are used only for internal purposes of school program design. The freshmen will take this test again at the end of senior year.
