Overview of Program: Boston Public Schools has three exam schools: Boston Latin School Boston Latin Academy and the OBryant School of Math and Science.

Admission to these schools is based on a students grade point average and performance on an entrance exam NWEAs Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) Growth tests. NWEAs computer-adaptive MAP Growth tests provide teachers students and parents with an accurate assessment of a students achievement precisely measuring what a child knows and needs to learn. BPS students take this assessment as part of regular school testing; however non-BPS students must attend a weekend test administration at a BPS site to take the MAP test in a standardized environment.
