Student Placement at Branches Learning

At Branches Learning, our goal is to meet each student where they are and help them grow from there. To assist us in doing this, we consider teacher recommendations and, when helpful, use brief online placement tests in Math and Language Arts. This process helps us thoughtfully group students within each grade level. Placement tests will be released on or before July 21 to students who did not attend Math or Language Arts with us during the 2024-2025 school year. Placement tests are not required prior to enrolling.

We keep placement testing low-stress and focused on supporting your child. When used, these tools help us:

• Make sure students start in the right spot. A quick check-in on key skills helps us place students in courses that match their current level—so they feel confident, challenged, and engaged from the start.
• Personalize learning. Results give teachers insight into each student’s strengths and needs, allowing us to better tailor instruction and support.

Our priority is helping students feel seen, supported, and successful from day one.
