Question 1

Is this required?

Accepted Answer

No. Participation in this pilot program is completely voluntary. There's no impact on your Miacademy account or your child’s coursework if you choose to participate or not.

Question 2

Does it cost anything?

Accepted Answer

MAP Growth With Miacademy is free for all pilot participants. Standardized testing can be expensive to access independently, and removing that barrier is part of why we’re exploring this partnership.

Question 3

How does enrollment work?

Accepted Answer

The pilot cohort is limited to approximately 1,000 students and is application-based. Families will need to apply to reserve a spot. There are no requirements to apply other than having a student between grades 2-8 who uses Miacademy as their primary curriculum! Full application details will be available when registration opens.

Question 4

What subjects are tested?

Accepted Answer

For this pilot program, we will only be administering the math and reading portions of the MAP Growth assessment. Each subject usually takes students about 45 minutes to complete.

Question 5

How do I prepare my child?

Accepted Answer

Not much preparation is needed. MAP Growth is designed to meet your child where they are. It’s not a test you can cram for, which is intentional. We’ll send a short family guide before each window with practical tips to make it a smooth experience.

Question 6

What happens to my child's data?

Accepted Answer

Student data is handled through NWEA’s secure platform in accordance with their privacy policies. Miacademy will use aggregate data from the pilot to better understand student growth and improve our platform. For example, if we notice that our 4th-grade students are excelling in math, we’ll evaluate our 4th-grade math course to see how we could use it to improve our other courses! Please rest assured that individual student data is never sold or shared for advertising.
