Do Students Need to Take the Assessment to Graduate?

From OSPI: Assessment results are necessary in order to have a complete High School and Beyond plan, which is a graduation requirement.  In addition, the results from the 10th grade ELA and math tests should be used to inform course-taking for the next two years of high school.  When a 10th grade student demonstrates they have met standard on the test, they will have greater course-taking flexibility.  Meeting standard on the high school test is one of the pathways a student can use to demonstrate post-secondary career or college readiness.
