This is a wonderful school district in a rural community. I have had kids at Kittitas for 11 years and am continually impressed with the learning environment, extra cirricular opportunities and especially the warm welcoming nature Kittitas condsistently offers.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Washington used the Measurements of Student Progress (MSP) to test students in reading and math in grades 3 through 8, in writing in grades 4 and 7, and in science in grades 5 and 8. The MSP 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 goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
