The pandemic forced the region s colleges and K-12 schools to ditch standardized tests Some hope the change is permanent

If you wanted to understand Andre Ramsey, you wouldn t look at a test score. A test score couldn t tell you about the hardships he faced after both his parents went to prison when he was a toddler. It couldn t tell you how, as a third grader, he dreamed of going to Harvard as soon as he saw a picture of the campus. It couldn t tell you about the late nights studying, the volunteer work, the almost unfathomable number of clubs he s joined and leadership positions he s held. So when Ramsey, now a senior at Spokane s Rogers High School, applied to Harvard last year, he didn t include any SAT or ACT score. After all, Harvard suspended the requirement to do so because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Washington students will not have to take state exams this spring

Washington students will not have to take state exams this spring By Q13 News Staff The tests will be postponed until the fall. OLYMPIA, Wash. - Students in Washington will not have to take state standardized tests this spring, according to the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI). The decision was made to reduce the number of students who take state tests this spring, as well as the number of hours spent on those tests. In March, OSPI submitted accountability and state assessment waiver applications to the U.S. Department of Education. The state has been granted an accountability waiver, but thus far has not received the flexibility students, families, and educators need for spring assessments, leading OSPI to pause the exams.

Students will not take state standardized tests this Spring

KXLY April 14, 2021 3:58 PM Matthew Kincanon OLYMPIA, Wash. Washington state students will be relieved to hear that they will not have to take the Smarter Balanced Assessments or the Washington Comprehensive Assessment of Science tests this Spring. Because the needs of students can’t be achieved through the current U.S. Department of Education’s waiver process, and the state has not received the flexibility students, families and educators need for Spring assessments despite receiving an accountability waiver, state Superintendent Chris Reykdal announced that they will not be administering the tests until Fall. This timeline is consistent with guidance provided by the Department to satisfy federal testing requirements.
