Nevada Science Assessments

The current Nevada Academic Content Standards for Science (NVACSS) were approved in 2014. Spring 2017 was the first administration of the Nevada Science Criterion-Referenced Tests (CRT) in grades 5 and 8, and the Nevada High School Science assessment aligned to the new academic content standards.
