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

- Illustrative Math (IM)
- EL Education (EL)
- Core Knowledge (CKF)
- 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.
