Our students participate in a variety of standardized testing. Below is a description of each standardized test left to be administered this Spring.

Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT)

Students: College-bound 11th-grade students

Testing date at LHS: April 23rd & 24th 2024

The Scholastic Assessment Test (SAT) is a voluntary assessment used to determine students' readiness for college. Colleges use the SAT to understand how well a student will succeed in their academic environment. Many schools no longer require the SAT, however, good SAT scores can positively impact a student's college admission decision, and open up opportunities for scholarships. This year, the SAT is a computer-based assessment for the first time, and Lindenwold High School is allowing students to take the SAT during their school day at LHS at no cost to our students.

In March, Mrs. Callow, Lindenwold's Anti-Bullying Coordinator partnered with Dr. Martinez-Preyor from School 5 and Dr. Lugo from LMS to present to District parents and families on the State's Harrassment, Intimidation, and Bullying (HIB) law and how that law is applied within our District policy.

The presentation shared information with parents and families on how to report a suspected violation of HIB to their child's school, as well as, differentiated bullying from the other types of challenges school-aged children may encounter with their peers in the school setting.

Lindenwold Public Schools need parents as partners in encouraging our students to solve problems in a safe and productive manner. If you did not make it to one of our presentations, please check out the video below for more information on what our bullying policy entails and how you can help support an inclusive school community.
