Scheduled Testing
We offer a variety of testing options,
from Individualized Testing to Standardized Achievement Testing
Testing is conducted at regular intervals each year, using standardized tests, such as the Woodcock Johnson, the Iowa Assessments, the ACT, and the PSAT and SAT. Results are reviewed carefully with the parents in order to provide feedback on each child's progress and to determine the recommended course program. These tests are given at the 2nd, 5th, 8th and 11th grade levels. The cost for testing is included in the tuition fees.
Iowa Assessments
The Iowa Assessments, formerly known as the Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS) is open to students in grades 3-9 and required for all eighth grade students.
The Assessments are a requirement for all 8th grade students entering high school.
The results of this test are intended to be a road map to help you and your student realize his/her strengths and weaknesses and plan accordingly for high school.
WCFS administers the Iowa Assessments once a year.
This year's IA Testing will be held on Wednesday, March 8 2023, from 9:30am to 3:30pm, at the WCFS Office and at Sunnyside Alliance Church in Secretary, MD
