New Hampshire Statewide Assessment System
Each year, New Hampshire students participate in the New Hampshire Statewide Assessment System (NH SAS), the general statewide assessment, for English language arts (ELA), mathematics and science.
NH SAS Resources
- NH SAS Portal - Educators and families can access resources for the general statewide assessment
- Family Portal allows families to view assessment results. To access the Family Portal, each family needs an Access Code that is unique to their child. Access codes are provided by the child's school. The Family Portal Training presentation provides instructions on how schools can retrieve Access Codes for families.
- Lexile® and Quantile® Measures in New Hampshire help educators and parents target instruction and monitor student growth by using the free tools and resources available.
