Four Subjects. One Aligned System.
Pro-Core is a comprehensive assessment system purpose-built to align with Ohio’s Learning Standards. Unlike national assessment products that repurpose legacy testing models, Pro-Core is designed exclusively for Ohio classrooms.
Coverage includes:
- Social Studies, Science, Reading/ELA, and Mathematics (Grades 2–12)
- Diagnostic, interim, and end-of-course assessments
- Ongoing formative, standards-based assessments
- Customizable assessments aligned to local curriculum priorities
Pro-Core provides actionable reporting to track student progress and support Ohio’s One Plan Needs Assessment. Our team also works directly with teachers to ensure effective preparation for both state and local assessments.
What Pro-Core Provides
- Diagnostic assessments (Form A) targeting individual Ohio learning standards.
- Standards-based reports for students, teachers, and class groupings.
- Short-cycle and interim assessments (Form B) to monitor progress on specific standards.
- End-of-course post-tests (Form C) in Social Studies, Science, ELA/Reading, and Mathematics.

- Full teacher control over standards, assessments, and instructional activities to support individualized and differentiated instruction.
The Pro-Core Difference
Pro-Core is approved by the Ohio Department of Education and Workforce as a High-Quality Student Data (HQSD) system for use with OTES 2.0. While HQSD approval requires 50% standards alignment, independent reviews show Pro-Core assessments are 98–100% aligned to Ohio’s Learning Standards.
