Newport High Assessments:
The federal No Child Left Behind Act requires that students be assessed each year in reading and math, grades 3 through 8, plus once in high school. 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
T wo other measures of high school performance are SAT scores and numbers of students taking Advanced Placement (AP) exams.
Enrollment in AP* courses and student success on AP exams have become leading indicators of academic rigor in our high schools. Changes in AP exam-taking over the last few years have been impressive. Students who earn scores of 3 or higher on AP exams may qualify to receive college credits.
Read more about Bellevue Schools' initiative to encourage all students to take challenging high school courses please see Advanced Placement in BSD.
The SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) is taken by 11th graders who plan to attend colleges and universities. The chart below shows three years of SAT results.
