Assessment Requirements in Washington
What’s required
Washington requires homeschooled students to complete a standardized test or teacher evaluation. This is required annually.
What happens if your child doesn’t meet the minimum
Washington hasn’t defined a specific remediation process for students who score below the minimum. If your child’s scores fall short, we recommend reaching out to your local school district to understand what steps, if any, they expect. In most cases, this is a conversation, not a confrontation.
Approved tests
Check your state’s approved test list for accepted standardized assessments. Your state homeschool organization or local school district can confirm which tests are accepted.
Alternatives to standardized testing
Standardized testing is the primary assessment option under this pathway. If your child experiences test anxiety or has a learning difference, check your full state guide . Your state may offer alternative pathways with different assessment methods.
