Isaac Newton Christian Academy participates in the Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS) annually. Students begin taking the tests in the third grade.
Our test scores show that we perform well above Iowa and national equivalents. In fact, we use a general statement to summarize our scores: Each year, in just about every subject, and at every grade level, we have the highest test scores in the Cedar Rapids area! Here are a few highlights from our 2011 tests, which the students took in the spring of 2011.
