For Texas homeschool families
A friendly placement assessment built on the real Texas state standards. Take it on a Saturday. Get an honest answer by lunch.
Every homeschool parent asks it
“I know she’s learning. But how do I actually know she’s where a 4th grader in public school would be?”
It’s the question that hits at the kitchen table after a hard math lesson. It’s the question your mother-in-law asks at Thanksgiving. It’s the question you don’t really want to ask yourself, because what if the answer isn’t what you hoped? You deserve a real answer — not a vibe check.
How it works
You pick the subject (Math first, more coming soon) and the grade range you’d like to bracket — K–2, 3–5, or 6–8.
A focused set of grade-appropriate questions spanning the whole band — no 200-question slog. Around 20–30 minutes per subject.
You see, in plain English, roughly where your student lands, what they’re strong in, and what to focus on next. Pull lesson plans for the focus areas with one click.
The test covers the whole band
Each band — K–2, 3–5, 6–8 — is a focused set of questions pulled evenly from every grade in that range and every math strand: number and operations, algebraic reasoning, geometry and measurement, data, and more.
Because every question is tagged to its grade and TEKS strand, the result pinpoints the grade level your student is working at and shows which strands are strong and which need attention. A student who aces the Grade 2–3 questions but stalls at Grade 5 places around Grade 4.
What you get at the end
No spreadsheets. No raw scores. No jargon you’d have to Google. Just an honest read on where your student lands, the strands they own, and the ones worth focusing on — written the way you’d want a teacher to write it to you.
Every report links straight to lesson plans for the focus areas.
Results aren’t recognized by any certifying body. The assessment is generated from the public TEKS standards to give your family a useful, informal benchmark.
Why you can trust the result
Every question is grounded in a real Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills standard — the same standards Texas public schools use. We don’t make it up. And we’re up-front: this isn’t an official, certified test. It won’t satisfy a state requirement. It’s a tool for you — a way to know, between yourself and your family, that you’re on the right track.
“These results aren’t recognized by any certifying body. We build the assessment entirely from the public TEKS standards to give your family a useful, informal benchmark — not a substitute for state testing.”
From answer to action
A placement is only useful if it leads somewhere. Inside Connected Learning Co., every report connects directly to lesson plans targeted at the strands your student needs to firm up, a study schedule that fits the rest of your week, and progress tracking so you can retake the assessment in a few months and see growth in black and white. The assessment is the start of the loop, not the end of it.
Help us shape it
Connected Learning Co. is free during the beta until August 1, 2026. Beta families who continue get their first month free when we launch — two months free on an annual plan. No code to remember, no fine print.
The placement assessment is included with Connected Learning Co. at every tier — not a paid add-on. Launching first for Math, grades K–8, with additional subjects rolling out through 2026.
