About the Tests

• In 2009-2010 West Virginia used the West Virginia Educational Standards Test 2 (WESTEST 2) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in reading, math and science, and grades 3 through 8 in social studies.
• The WESTEST 2 is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of West Virginia.
• The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level on the test.

About the Tests

• In 2009-2010 West Virginia used the West Virginia Educational Standards Test 2 (WESTEST 2) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in reading/language arts, math and science, and grades 3 through 8 in social studies.
• The different student groups are identified by the West Virginia Department of Education. If there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.
• The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
