Sophomore Testing

Johny Lodico, sophomore, on his way to testing.

“All the Sophomores report to the gym,” was heard throughout the hallways throughout the week from November 1 through the 4  by the students of Sparta High School.

This week, all of the Sophomores went into the Alton Ask Gymnasium to take the Sophomore Test. Johnny Lodico was asked what he thought of sophomore testing, and he responded, “I really don’t like it because it’s a lot of time sitting on your butt and trying to use more of your brain than you know you have.”  

The Sophomore test is split into all of the common core classes such as Math, English, Science, and the other classes too. It is used to filter the students into groups of what their knowledge level is.

Another Sophomore, Jon Brey, commented on the testing, “ it’s a good way to get us ready for other important tests, but it’s seriously way too long.”

The testing was held in the gymnasium and about 200 Sophomores took their tests. Hopefully as these students left the gym, that they felt happy with their scores.
