The seventh, eighth and ninth graders get ready for the benchmarks and midterms that are coming up this month. These tests are a major part of everyone’s grades. They determine what grades will be for the end of the marking period. The ninth graders take midterms to show the teachers what they remember from the beginning of the year and what they need to work on throughout the year. The seventh and eighth graders take the marking period benchmarks to show their teachers what they remember from that marking period and what they need help with.  Everyone has to take these tests until they graduate. These tests can help students get into a good college when you are older.
