Customer Story - Valhalla Union Free School District, Valhalla, New York

"The need for a rapid third party report of the test results was also a critical factor in the choice of TerraNova 3. CTB/McGraw-Hill was able to quickly score and provide results within the required turnaround time for their APPR report."

Customer Story - Archdiocese of Newark, Newark, New Jersey

"Because we administer TerraNova 3 every year, it gives us the opportunity to track students' progress from first grade through seventh grade to ensure students are advancing academically. This helps our schools determine if they are effectively providing the instruction students need to be competitive in today's world. It also informs the decisions our schools make about everything from the textbooks they choose, to how they deliver instruction, to the sequence of instruction."
