What do my child’s mClass results mean?
mClass is one of the Anchorage School District’s benchmark assessments and is administered each Fall, Winter, and Spring to K-3 students. Students are assessed in several Early Literacy skill areas which produce an overall composite score as follows:
- 1:1 assessments
- Kindergarten – Letter Names, Phonemic Awareness, Decoding, Word Reading
- 1st Grade – Letter Names, Phonemic Awareness, Decoding, Word Reading, Oral Reading Fluency
- 2nd Grade – Decoding, Word Reading, Oral Reading Fluency

- Computer-Based Assessments
- Kindergarten – n/a
- 1st Grade – n/a
- 2nd Grade – Comprehension, Vocabulary

Screening scores provide a data snapshot that is used to support identification of students who are at-risk and in need of interventions and/or enrichment or acceleration. The assessments measure early literacy skills in grades K-3. The results are used to measure learning status and growth within the school year.
