What is SchoolCity?

SchoolCity is an all-encompassing K–12 assessment tool that allows educators and school districts to create, administer, and analyze assessments aligned with educational standards, which include various types of evaluations such as classroom formative, summative, interim, and common assessments. Featuring a robust item bank with over 65,000 items tagged specifically for Texas’s TEKS and DOK, the platform also provides additional resources like TX Prebuilt Assessments, TEKSbank, and TEKSready, ensuring that teachers and administrators have access to high-quality, state-aligned questions. Moreover, educators can design customized assessments by mixing original items with those from the item banks and can choose to conduct these evaluations online via the enhanced Student Portal or in a traditional paper format. The system further caters to students' unique needs by incorporating a nightly-updated accommodations feature, which includes online testing support, partial-credit scoring, and a variety of item formats such as multiple choice, hot-text, graphing, ordering, multi-select, and performance-based tasks, thus guaranteeing a well-rounded assessment experience for every student. This adaptability not only streamlines the testing process but also significantly enhances the overall learning experience by addressing the diverse requirements of students across the board. Additionally, the platform's emphasis on user experience creates an engaging environment, fostering a culture of continuous improvement in educational assessment practices.
