New Hampshire
Alternate Assessment

During each school year, students currently in grades 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 & 11, who are identified by their IEP teams as appropriate for alternate statewide assessment based upon alternate achievement standards, are included in the New Hampshire Alternate Assessment of Reading, Mathematics, Writing, and Science skills, also known as: NH-Alt. This is a portfolio-based instructionally embedded assessment process that begins each school year in September and ends in April for all participating students.
