  • 5th grade - English Language Arts, Math, Science

  • 6th grade - English Language Arts, Math

Claremore Public Schools is committed to utilizing this data and other assessments to identify where student learning is currently and close the gaps that have been created. 

“Claremore Public School continues to be focused on raising the achievement for all students, closing the achievement gap and providing educational equity for all students, and ensuring a safe educational environment for all students.   “The effects of the pandemic will be seen for several years.  There is no instant fix; we will not and cannot give up.  As Zebras, we continually strengthen our efforts to ensure our students learn in the classroom and our teachers are resourced and supported,”  Superintendent Bryan Frazier.

Claremore will use these test results as a baseline for future growth in student learning.  These results are one data point and in no way tell us everything about a student’s or school’s overall learning and performance.  Our goal is to always focus on each individual student’s growth, define learning gaps and strengths and fill in gaps that may exist. 

Since returning to school in August, all K-8th grade students have been given various assessments during the first nine weeks of school to help identify gaps in their learning.  These assessments are used to establish W.I.N. (Whatever Is Needed) Time groups, our daily academic intervention period.  Teachers also use district/site assessments to provide specialized instruction and support within regular class periods and after-school intervention.   

Final Reporting and Parent Portal Information

Final reports have been posted to the OSTP Data Portal and will be posted to the Parent/Student Portal on Tuesday, September 20th of 2022. All parent portal accounts were reset for Spring 2022 data.  If families did not access their accounts this summer to check preliminary data, they will need to register with their student's STN and birthdate and an email address

New for this year:

  • One student can be linked to three parent accounts.

  • One parent account can be linked to multiple students.

How Can I See My Child’s Test Scores? 

To access your child’s state testing scores, log in to the Oklahoma State Dept. of Education (OSDE) Parent/Student Testing Portal. To log in to the portal, families must have their student’s unique 10-digit State Testing Number), available through the Claremore Public School (CPS) Parent Portal on your child’s report card or previous OSTP paper parent reports. All OSDE portal accounts have been reset for spring 2022, which means families will need to register even if they’ve logged on before this testing period.

What do the student scoring categories mean? 

Your student's score fits into one of four levels.  Students scoring: 

  • Advanced - may need enrichment opportunities to challenge them with material above grade level.  

  • Proficient - are on track and ready for the next grade or course.  

  • Basic - demonstrates foundational skills and abilities but is still working toward being on track.  

  • Below Basic - may need targeted support in developing skills and abilities to bring them to grade level.

Where can I find more information?

OSDE has made a parent toolkit available with webinars and other helpful resources to help you better understand the data.

If you have questions about your child’s scores or a particular school’s scores, please visit your child’s teacher, building counselor, or principal.
