Midterm Exam Survey

The York County School Division is conducting a brief survey regarding midterm exams for high school credit courses. The survey is open to students, parents, and teachers in grades 6 through 12.

As you may know, inclement weather and school cancellations have impacted the administration of midterm exams in three of the last five school years, with the division either making exams optional or cancelling them.

Recognizing the need for consistency across the division, a committee of secondary teachers and administrators developed guidelines in 2016 and requested further evaluation of the exam structure, relating to the consistency of administration, loss of instructional time, and impact on student learning.

Feedback gained through this survey will be used to develop possible recommendations on the role of midterm exams in high school credit-bearing courses. This survey will remain open through Sunday, March 25.
