Common Finals

Finals are End-of-Course/Year assessments. The purpose of finals is to measure student mastery of course outcomes. To this end, CUSD is working towards building common finals for all sites and all courses.  Courses with common finals take the same assessment, regardless of which school the student attends. The results of these finals support students and staff with measuring student achievement and making improvements to courses to enhance teaching and learning throughout the district. 

Common Finals are administered online in grades 7-12 at the conclusion of Semester 1 and Semester 2. Common Finals are administered using the SchoolCity platform, a standards-based district assessment platform. In addition to administering Common Finals, teachers can also use the platform to create their own formative assessments. World Language finals are administered using both SchoolCity (Receptive Language) and Extempore (Expressive Language).

All Common Finals are built by teams of content area teachers and coaches using adopted standards and CUSD curriculum maps. For more information on CUSD Curriculum and Instruction, please visit the CUSD Curriculum and Instruction website. For more information on state and district testing, please review our CUSD Balanced Assessment Framework.
