About Our Partner

CenterPoint Education is a nonprofit organization providing pre-built and custom assessment solutions, curriculum services, and professional learning to 185,000 educators and 2.5 million students in 22 states. Through partnership with PowerSchool, CenterPoint’s products are now available on the Performance Matters platform expanding student and educator access to high quality, standards aligned products and services.

Interim assessments administered throughout a school year or course are key to supporting learning and promoting equity. CenterPoint interim assessments empower educators to:

• Measure student learning
• Identify where students are on their path to grade level expectations
• Provide data to drive instructional strategy

CenterPoint assessments delivered through Performance Matters are designed to drive student learning and achievement.

Designed to Drive Learning

CenterPoint’s team of former educators, assessment specialists, and content experts have developed and designed interim assessments tightly aligned to popular, green-rated curriculum, including:

1. Illustrative Math (IM)
2. EL Education (EL)
3. Core Knowledge (CKF)
4. The curriculum of your choice

“CenterPoint has been an essential part of our math priority to ensure college ready math instruction for all of our students.  CenterPoint’s exams are aligned with Illustrative Math and give us a clear picture of where our students are meeting or exceeding grade level expectations and where we need to focus our attention to help students meet their college and career goals.” – Ryan Miller, Director of Teaching and Learning, Carmen Schools of Science and Technology

Additionally, CenterPoint’s pre-built standards-aligned interim assessments are available on the Performance Matters platform. These assessments are aligned to college-and-career readiness standards and are designed to gauge student progress towards meeting them and determine where they are on their path to the next course or grade level.
