SRI SRI (Scholastic Reading Inventory) is a district standard reading test administered three times each year which helps determine a student's reading level using Lexiles. Results of this test can also be used in conjunction with Reading Counts! to help students find books of interest to the student that are of the appropriate reading level.

SRI Enrollment/Un-enrollment Dates

Students may only take the SRI test four times per year, during the official testing windows.  In addition, there must be at least 30 days between tests.  To prevent students from taking an SRI test prior to the official testing window, students should be un-enrolled from SRI at least 30 days before the official SRI testing windows begin.  The un-enrollment must be completed by school personnel. Students will be automatically enrolled in SRI throughout the testing window.  Students may remain enrolled in Reading Counts, Read 180 and FASTT Math throughout the school year.
