Continuous Student Learning in a Caring, Engaging Environment

State Assessment

We are required by state and federal law to assess students on an annual basis.Accommodations are available for students who receive special services or who have 504 plans. To review the full menu of assessment options, please visit the state testing web site.

English language arts and mathematics

Our state uses Smarter Balanced to determine a student's career and college readiness in the areas of English language arts and mathematics. Students need to meet the standards in order to graduate from high school.

Download our information sheet on the left, or visit the ReadyWA web site to see how you can use Smarter Balanced scores to chart your path.

Science

We use the Washington Comprehensive Assessment of Science at grades 5, 8, and 11.

English Language Learners

Students receiving services to support their progress in learning and using the English language also take the English Language Proficiency Assessment (ELPA21) each spring.
