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?).
