Which grade level is NOT typically assessed by the MERIT program?

The MERIT program focuses on assessing students in specific grade levels in order to track educational readiness and inform teaching strategies effectively. Typically, the program does not assess students in Grade 4, as it tends to concentrate on younger grades where foundational skills are being developed and evaluated.

Grade 1, Grade 2, and Grade 3 are critical years for assessing literacy and numeracy skills, making them a priority for the MERIT program. These assessments are designed to help educators identify areas where students may need additional support to ensure they are prepared for more advanced learning as they progress through their education. Thus, Grade 4 is excluded from the typical assessments conducted by the MERIT program.
