More information.
This site has information regarding achievement testing in North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee -- primarily for home schooling families.
In-person administration of the WJ IV is available in western North Carolina.
Do you have to test?
- North Carolina:
Yes, from age 7 through graduation from the home
school. See North Carolina Division of Non-Public Education.
- South Carolina:
No, unless choosing to operate under Section 59-65-40, Option One
where a state test is required. Some home school associations may require testing as a condition of
membership. See South Carolina Department of Education.
- Georgia:
Yes, at least every three years beginning at the end of the third grade.
See Georgia Department of Education.
- Tennessee:
Depending on the option under which home schooling occurs, testing may be required.
Independent Home Schools must test in grades 5, 7, and 9 coordinated with the local school district.
Home schools under a church-related umbrella school must follow the umbrella school's guidance.
See Tennessee Department of Education.
Should you test?
- Yes, whether required or not, you should assess the progress that your students are making.
What test should you use?
- There are numerous "bubble-in" tests that will meet the
requirement and provide a score than can be used to compare
students.
- The Woodcock-Johnson IV is recommended to provide more
information regarding a student's academic progress (and who
wouldn't want that?).
