Our Mission

The mission of the Assessments and Accountability Department is to support OSSE as it removes barriers and creates pathways for the District of Columbia's K-12 students to receive an excellent education and to prepare them for success. Support is provided through the design and administration of the assessments. The goal is to measure students' core knowledge, skills and abilities and to hold schools and teachers accountable for students' academic progress.
