State Testing
Test Schedules for the 2019-2020 School Year
State testing takes place within designated "test windows" that are determined by the state.
Specific test dates will vary by school because schools are usually permitted to choose their own test dates.
An exception to this in our district would be High School tests that take place in the spring at our four comprehensive high schools, which usually occur on pre-determined “late start days.” Those late start days for Spring 2020 have not yet been determined.
On a “late start day” high school students who are testing will begin testing at the normal school start time and classes are scheduled to start later (usually around 10am, although you should confirm the specific times with your student’s school).
The following are TENTATIVE test windows for Spring 2020.
- Grades 3 through HS WA-AIM...October 14-April 13
- Grades KG through 12 ELPA and WIDA...February 3-March 27
- Grade 3 through HS SBA...March 26-June 5
- Grades 5 and 8 WCAS...April 13-June 5
- Grade 11 WCAS...May 4-June 5
