Oklahoma state testing is happening across the district from April 1-May 15.

Why does state testing matter?

For high school students:

• Taking the ACT provides students with a free college reportable score;
• State assessment scores can help with concurrent enrollment and Tulsa Technology enrollment opportunities; and
• State tests measure how much students have learned and identify students’ strengths and growth areas.

For grades 3rd-8th:

• Assessment scores are listed and considered on magnet school applications.
• State tests measure how much students have learned and identify students’ strengths and growth areas.
