Your student’s participation in Oregon’s statewide assessments helps to ensure that all learners have access to a high-quality education. Statewide testing provides valuable information that helps improve instruction, allocate resources, and support student success.
These assessments are based on the Oregon State Standards and the WIDA English Language Development Standards, which define what students should know and be able to do at each grade level. To learn more, please visit the Oregon Department of Education Statewide Assessments page.
