TESTING FOR HOMESCHOOLERS

Yearly testing for homeschoolers is available using the California Achievement Test, 5th Edition (CAT 5).

This test is listed on the OSPI website as being approved for homeschoolers in Washington state to meet the annual testing requirement.

"Parents providing home-based instruction for their children may use any standardized achievement test that has been evaluated by the Buros Institute of Mental Measurements (www.unl.edu/buros), the test evaluation organization recognized by the State Board of Education under

WAC 180-52-070"

Results and evaluation of your child's needs are available immediately following the testing session in a computer printout format.

If your support group would like an individual group testing, call for information and to schedule a date.
CHOOSING THE TEST LEVEL

In the spring, students should test for the level of school work they are completing.

Often the child's age does not correlate, so consider the academic level of each

child rather than their age or the grade they would be in school.

If you have a child who has turned 8 years old and will be testing for the first time,

it may be helpful to discuss with us which test level is appropriate for them.

If your child has tested with us in the past, we'll double check the level and call

you prior to testing.
If you have a special situation or any questions about the test
 or testing process, please feel free to call 360-573-0857.

NON-TEST ASSESSMENTS

Non-test assessments are an alternative to testing and are especially helpful for students who have special needs, such as late readers. Some parents prefer non-test assessments over testing. This method of marking progress meets the requirements of the state law.

By appointment only. Call for information and to schedule
