Student Performance
Washington students are regularly assessed to determine if they are learning the important skills they need to be successful while in our schools and after graduation. Test results help districts and schools refine instructional practices, give parents information about how well their child is doing, and identify when additional help may be needed.
Technical assistance resources on this page include research, articles, tools, templates, technical assistance centers, and websites. (Note: Use of the resources included on this site does not guarantee that the district's performance or determination status under section 616(d), will improve for the next reporting period.)
