Assessment Support

​​​In alignment with the guidelines set forth by the US Department of Education (USED) and Kentucky's regulation, we are committed to administering summative and other state assessments for the upcoming 2023-2024 school year.

To foster understanding of the 2023-2024 assessment and accountability data reporting, the Office of Assessment and Accountability (OAA) has gathered resources in one place.

OAA has attempted to make a single place to begin to answer the accountability questions that may arise from the public data release. These resources include Word documents, PDFs, videos and PowerPoints.

​A violation of 703 KAR 5:080, Administration Code for Kentucky's Assessment Program, or 703 KAR 5:070​​, Inclusion of Special Populations in the State Required Assessment and Accountability Program, results in a testing allegation. District Assessment Coordinators (DAC) may use the following link to report allegations of inappropriate testing practices: KDE/CORE Allegation Reporting. Passwords are required to access the Web application and can be obtained by contacting your District Web Application Administrator.

​​​​​​​The Commonwealth of Kentucky has several regulations which govern the administration of Kentucky's Assessment and Accountability Program. These regulations are supplemented with guides and manuals specific to each assessment.

​​The Division of Assessment and Accountability Support (DAAS) has created a number of forms that can be downloaded for use by schools and districts in implementing the state's Assessment and Accountability System.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​The Division of Assessment and Accountability Support (DAAS) provides opportunities for District Assessment Coordinators (DACs), Building Assessment Coordinators (BACs), Directors of Special Education (DoSEs), Professional Development Coordinators and other interested individuals to receive information and practice with score interpretation, data analysis, test administration and the regulations governing Kentucky's Assessment and Accountability Program. ​

​Each year, Kentucky schools publish School Report Cards (SRC) and post them on the Kentucky Department of Education website. Not to be confused with student report cards, School and District Report Cards provide information about each school and district, including test performance, teacher qualifications, student safety, awards, parent involvement and much more. The School and District Report Cards were established by statute KRS 158.6453 (20)​​, and regulation 703 KAR 5:140. Additionally, the report card must incorporate the requirements of the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA).
