New Hampshire Statewide Assessment System
The New Hampshire Statewide Assessment System (NH SAS) is the state's general summative assessment for students in grades 3-8 and 11. Students participate in the NH SAS, unless they qualify for the alternate assessment. NH SAS is given in each spring to measure student knowledge and skills in English language arts (grades 3-8), mathematics (grades 3-8), and science (grades 5, 8, and 11).
