Thank you for your patience as we awaited the Individual Score Reports (ISRs) for the Spring 2024 Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA) tests, which were delayed by OSPI. They can now be found in Skyward Family Access by clicking on the “Portfolio" link on the left-hand side. You can print the SBA results from home, or you may request a paper copy from your child’s school. If you need assistance logging into Skyward Family Access, instructions are available on our district website.
Washington State requires all districts to test students in grades 3-8 and grade 10 in English Language Arts and Mathematics through the Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA). Additionally, students in grades 5, 8, and 11 take the Washington Comprehensive Assessment of Science (WCAS). These assessments are required by both state and federal regulations and provide valuable insights into areas of strength and growth as students work toward meeting state learning standards.
Your student’s overall performance in each subject area is categorized into one of four performance levels, which describe the extent of their understanding of grade-level skills and standards. The performance levels are as follows: (see image below)
If your student attended a school outside of the Steilacoom Historical School District during the 23-24 school year, a request for the record will need to be sent to the previous school. If you have any questions regarding your student’s assessment performance, please reach out to your student’s teacher(s). For questions about the student assessment score report, feel free to connect with Mr. Tyrrell or Dr. Laurie Vallieres, Executive Director of Teaching & Learning.
