This fall public schools in Washington State are required to administer state assessments in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science. Students will take a shortened version of the test they would have taken last spring, had state testing occurred. For our school this means:
8th grade students will take the 7th grade Math and ELA SBA
