About the tests

In 2006-2007 Washington used the Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL) to test students in reading and math in grades 3 through 8 and 10, in writing in grades 4, 7 and 10 and in science in grades 5, 8 and 10.
The WASL is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Washington.
Beginning with the class of 2008, the grade 10 WASL will be a high school graduation requirement.
The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.

The WASL is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Washington.
The different student groups are identified by the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. If there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.
Beginning with the class of 2008, the grade 10 WASL will be a high school graduation requirement.
The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
