Assessment
Standardized and classroom assessments provide students, teachers, and parents with information about how well a student is learning essential knowledge and skills in reading, writing, mathematics, and science. Data from these assessments also help teachers and administrators identify students who would benefit from additional or different learning opportunities, improve classroom instruction for students, identify areas of focus for school and district improvement efforts, and monitor progress toward the district goal of increasing academic achievement for every student.
Parents can view student assessment results through the parent portal, ParentVUE.

Grade Level Assessments
Oregon Statewide Assessment System (OSAS) Annual Notice
In 2010, Oregon adopted higher K-12 standards in English Language Arts and Math to ensure all students move from grade to grade with the academic knowledge and skills necessary for success beyond high school. The state tests: challenge your child to think critically, go beyond multiple choice and ask your child to explain their answers, act as a snapshot of your child’s progress, and help us identify schools that need additional supports to ensure more students are meeting higher standards.

Private and Home School Students
Private school and home school students who receive instruction in tested subjects at Oregon public schools are required to take the Oregon statewide assessment in those subjects. Private and home school students who do not receive instruction in a subject are exempt from taking the Oregon statewide assessment in that subject.
This year, the Beaverton School District will offer Oregon statewide assessment tests for home school students on Thursday, April 13 and Friday, April 14. This opportunity is not available to private school students. Students must register by Monday, April 4.
If you would like to have your student attend, please contact CeCe Wang to make arrangements. Seating is limited and a ten-day notice is required so students can have a valid state ID number available before testing.
