WASHINGTON
Frequently asked questions
Is it true that Washington state homeschoolers need to be tested each year?
Yes. All homeschooled students ages 8 to 18 must participate in annual testing. Parents may choose between a non-test assessment such as one offered by SpritelyMind, or may opt for standardized testing.
What does the law say?
Why should I assess my student?
As the old adage goes, "you can't manage what you don't measure." Assessment is an essential component of active homeschooling. Not assessing, is leaving your student's education to chance.
I attend a virtual school or alternative learning program, do I still need to be assessed?
Possibly. See your program's testing policies to be certain. If you were required to submit a Declaration of Intent this year, and do not attend any classes or programs affiliated with a public school district, you will likely need to obtain assessment.
Is there an assessment deadline I must meet?
What do your assessments cover?
My child has special needs / is gifted / twice-exceptional. Can I still use your assessments?
Absolutley! In fact, we got started designing and administering assessments specifically for a small group of twice-exceptional students. Our assessments are flexible enough to be used with any student, regardless of their abilities.
Why would someone use a Checklist?
What do I do with my assessment results? Do I need to file them with the state or district?
Probably not. Most states, including Washington do not require that assessments be filed. However you will want to keep all assessments on file as part of your student's academic portfolio.
