Spring Testing for Junior High, Sophomores & Juniors

This spring, students in grades 7, 8 and 10 will take the Smarter Balanced or the Washington Access to Instruction and Measurement (WA-AIM) tests in math and English language arts. Students in grades 8 and 11 will also take the Washington Comprehensive Assessment of Science (WCAS) or the WA-AIM science assessment.

The results from these tests will give a more accurate picture of whether students are on track to be ready for college or career. For students in grade 10, the Smarter Balanced or WA-AIM tests can also be used as a graduation pathway.

Most students will take the tests online. Our school is scheduled to take the tests between April 10th and May 5th.

Running Start Juniors:

This spring 11th grade Running Start students are required by the state to take the Smarter Balanced test the Comprehensive Assessment of Science (WCAS).  The spring test is a federal accountability requirement.  Consequently, each student must attempt the state test at least one time.
