This video shows what to expect when you come to The Willow School for your assessment.
Eligibility Assessment Information
Kindergarten applicants are assessed individually at the lower school campus (7315 Willow Street).
The assessment takes about 20 minutes and includes a math problem solving section and a listening comprehension section. The math section covers basic concepts and everyday applications. The listening comprehension section covers listening comprehension at the level of the word, sentence, and passage. Students receive a component score for receptive vocabulary (selecting a picture that matches a word) and oral discourse comprehension (responding aloud to questions after listening to a passage). Students must respond verbally in the oral discourse section. The kindergarten assessment is taken on an iPad, but applicants do not need to have any technology skills; students can respond by speaking or by pointing.
See all assessment information on the Eligibility Assessment page of the website.
