About the tests

The WASL is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Washington.
The grade 10 WASL is a high school graduation requirement.
The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.

About the tests

In 2008-2009 Washington used the Washington Assessment of Student Learning (WASL) to test students in reading and math in grades 3 through 8 and 10, in writing in grades 4, 7 and 10 and in science in grades 5, 8 and 10.
The WASL is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Washington.
The different student groups are identified by the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. If there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.
The grade 10 WASL is a high school graduation requirement.
The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
