West Virginia plans to reveal this week the first results on its new elementary, middle and high school standardized test, which replaced the decade-old Westest in the spring and seeks to gauge whether students are meeting Common Core-based standards.
County school districts can release their local test data or they can wait until the department publishes the county and school scores later this fall.
In February, the state school board voted to put off until at least next school year assigning each school grades on a new A-F rating system - which will factor in growth in student scores on the new tests.
The West Virginia General Summative Assessment is meant to test whether students are learning the Common Core-based math and English/language arts standards that West Virginia implemented statewide last school year. |
