Welcome to Forest Lake Education Center

It is a joy to greet you as the incoming Principal of Forest Lake Education Center. My family and I are grateful to already be part of this community—two of our children attend FLEC, and we have experienced its warmth and strong sense of belonging.
 
Over the past 25 years, I have served in Adventist education as a teacher, chaplain, principal, and, most recently, Associate Superintendent. Each role has strengthened my commitment to partner with families to nurture students who love Jesus, love learning, and are prepared for a life in service to Him.
 
Whether returning or exploring FLEC for the first time, I invite you to visit, tour, and come say hi. Let’s go through this journey together.
 
Stephen Herr,
Principal

✏️MAP testing will begin on Monday, August 24.

🎒WHAT IS MAP TESTING?
MAP stands for Measure of Academic Progress. It is a standardized test which allows students, parents, teachers, and administrators to understand what the student already knows and what the student is ready to learn next.

📘HOW IS IT USED?
​We use MAP testing in three ways at FLEC. First, we track individual student progress. Teachers want to see their students grow each year. This is one way we seek to ensure that each child is on track. Next, we look at how each classroom is performing so we can tailor instruction to that classroom's needs. Finally, we look at how an entire grade is performing. We evaluate grade level achievement to make sure that FLEC is preparing students for future learning.

✒️WHAT SUBJECTS ARE TESTED?
​We test reading, language usage, and mathematics. Our K-3 students also take a reading fluency test that helps to compare their oral reading to their comprehension level.

📓HOW LONG DOES THIS ASSESSMENT TAKE?
​All MAP tests are untimed, but students at FLEC generally take 45-50 minutes to finish each test. MAP continues to test students until they start missing questions. For this reason, testing times vary.

📒HOW OFTEN DO WE TEST?
​MAP tests are taken three times per year.

​💻WHAT GRADES ARE TESTED?
Kindergarten through grade 8.
