In Washington State, we test each spring with the WASL (Washington Assessment of Student Learning). WASL tests are intended to assess whether students have sufficiently mastered a set of grade-level standards for a particular subject. In other words, “How many students have learned what they need to know – and can demonstrate that learning?” Some test questions are multiple-choice, but most require students to explain their answers and ask for short or extended responses. WASL scores are reported in 4 levels: “Exceeds Standard,” “Meets Standard,” “Below Standard,” and “Well Below Standard.”  More WASL information on BSD405.org: About BSD > District & School Accountability > WASL info, testing schedule, resources Current and previous years’ WASL results: Interlake's OSPI Report Card

 T wo other measures of high school performance are SAT scores and numbers of students taking Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) exams.

Enrollment in AP/IB * courses and student success on AP/IB exams have become leading indicators of academic rigor in our high schools. Changes in AP/IB exam-taking over the last few years have been impressive. Students who earn scores of 3 or higher on AP/IB exams may qualify to receive college credits.
