Washington State Assessments
The Washington
Comprehensive Assessment Program (WCAP) refers to the statewide, mandatory
testing program which measures student progress toward meeting the state
learning standards. Measuring the progress and proficiency of our students statewide
is important because it helps ensure all public school students, no matter
where they go to school, receive a quality education that strives to prepare
them to be College and Career Ready citizens when they graduate from high
school. Washington state students are regularly tested by the state to assess
their progress as they move through elementary and middle school. In high school,
students must pass specific assessments in order to be eligible to graduate and for
federal accountability. Follow the “Graduation Toolkit” tab to view specific
requirements for our current high school students by graduation year.
