Testing & Assessments
Coopersville High School participates in state and national assessments that help monitor learning, guide academic planning, and meet graduation requirements.
SAT Prep & College Readiness
CHS integrates preparation for state and college-entrance exams directly into the curriculum and offers targeted support.
- English 9 and English 11 include SAT-aligned reading, writing, vocabulary, and practice components.
- SAT Prep (grade 11) is a 0.5-credit elective that reviews English and math content, teaches test-taking strategies, and uses Khan Academy's Official SAT Practice. This course is offered first semester only.
How This Supports Students
- Builds familiarity with test formats, timing, and question types.
- Provides structured time for targeted practice and test-taking strategies.
- Aligns classroom learning with college- and career-readiness expectations.
SAT (College Entrance Exam)
The SAT is a college entrance exam given free to all CHS juniors as part of Day One of the MME.
Students may retake the SAT at national test centers (such as GVSU or GRCC) for a fee if they wish to improve their score. Colleges and universities accept a student's highest SAT score.
How Results Are Used
- Support college admission and scholarship consideration.
- Inform placement in some college courses and programs.
- Guide conversations with counselors and families about postsecondary plans.
