The Alabama Comprehensive Assessment Program (ACAP) is administered to students in Alabama from second through eighth grade to generally assess school performance, both individually, and throughout their districts. ACAP provides educational leaders with information on mastery of basic subjects such as English, language arts, mathematics, and science. In particular, this testing indicates which schools, districts, students, or subjects need more academic support.
