Schools must administer a national, norm-referenced standardized assessment from a list published by the U.S. Department of Education that qualifies for the National Blue Ribbon Schools Program. The table provides a comprehensive list of these assessments, their publishers, and their applicability to English Language Arts (ELA), Math, and Science. Notable additions include the PSAT, approved by the State Superintendent of Schools. The document also highlights that instead of a national assessment, schools may opt for the approved Maryland assessment, the Maryland Comprehensive Assessment Program (MCAP), with DLM serving as its alternative assessment. The provided list includes a variety of assessments such as Iowa Assessments, SAT-10, Terra Nova 3/NEXT, ACT, ACT Aspire, CTP, MAP, Star, CLT, i-Ready Diagnostic, Exact Path Diagnostic, MCAP, and DLM, specifying content areas they cover. This ensures that participating schools can select assessments that meet the scholarship program’s stringent educational standards while offering flexibility in choice of testing instruments relative to state-approved alternatives.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/exam/","Exam",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/list-of-approved-assessments-for-boost-scholarship-program/268559/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/list-of-approved-assessments-for-boost-scholarship-program/268559.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"eBook King","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-20","2026-09-15",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",10,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What assessments are approved for the BOOST Scholarship Program?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"Participating nonpublic schools must administer a national, norm-referenced standardized assessment from a list published by the U.S. Department of Education, or the approved Maryland assessment (MCAP).","Answer",{"name":66,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":67},"Which assessments cover ELA, Math, and Science?",{"text":68,"@type":64},"Assessments such as Iowa Assessments, SAT-10, Terra Nova 3/NEXT, ACT, ACT Aspire, CTP, MAP, and DLM can be used to assess in ELA, Math, and Science.
