Naches Trail Elementary School

A Palmer 1986-1990: I enjoyed my years at Naches. The staff was wonderful. The teachers were awesome. The student body was unified as we progressed to Junior High and High School. Great memories inside the school and out in the playground. In the library and hallways are old-town decor, where we were aloud to read quietly during library time. The location is great, the bus routes good. I was on the softball team, and enjoyed being part of a team for a couple years. I hope ya'll love it as much as I did.

About the MSP

What is it?

The Measurements of Student Progress (MSP) are annual tests used to measure a student's mastery of the state's grade-level academic standards contained in the Essential Academic Learning Requirements (EALRs).

Which Grades and Subjects?

Students in grades 3 through 8 are assessed in reading and math, in grades 4 and 7 in writing, and in grades 5 and 8 in science.

How is it Scored?

A student's performance on the reading, math and science MSP is reported using scale scores. Scale scores are three-digit numbers that are used to place the student into one of four levels: Advanced (Level 4), Proficient (Level 3), Basic (Level 2) and Below Basic (Level 1). The goal is for all students to meet or exceed standards (at or above Level 3).
