Spring Testing Info. and Schedule

Schools will administer the West Virginia General Summative Assessment (WVGSA) to students in Grades 3-8. The West Virginia Alternative Summative Assessment (WVASA) will be administered to students with the most significant cognitive disabilities in Grades 3-8 & 11.

All students will take the English Language Arts (ELA), reading, writing, and mathematics portions of the test. Students Grades 5 and 8 will take the science test, and 11th Grade students taking the WVASA will also complete the science portion.

The district test window is April 13-17 for Writing, and April 27-May 22 for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, and varies by grade level. Check with your school for specific grade level testing dates.

Open the Pre-Testing Parent Letter provided below for additional information.

Students in Grades 3, 4, 6, and 7 will participate in three assessments, while students in Grades 5 and 8 will complete four assessments.

• English Language Arts: Grades 3–8 - Reading, Writing (writing test MUST be completed the same day it is started).
• Mathematics: Grades 3-8
• Science: Grade 5 (elementary grade-band test).
• Science: Grade 8 (middle school grade-band test).

Each assessment session is approximately two hours in length; however, all assessments are untimed, allowing students as much time as needed to complete their work.

The WVGSA/WVASA provides important information that can be used to help improve instruction for each individual student. Results from the assessment can help teachers and school administrators pinpoint areas of strengths and opportunities and identify possible achievement gaps to help teachers adjust instruction for each student.

We encourage your student to perform to the best of their ability on the test this spring.

All 11th Grade students will participate in SAT School Day, an important opportunity that brings the College Board SAT directly to their school.

This experience allows students to demonstrate the knowledge and skills they’ve developed throughout their academic journey while taking a meaningful step toward their future goals. SAT School Day helps ensure every student has access to this important college readiness assessment, opening doors to college admissions, scholarships, and career pathways.

Student test results will be available in your child’s College Board account approximately 2–4 weeks after testing. Scores are expected to be posted around May 14, 2026.

If your student selected colleges to receive their scores, those colleges will receive the results about 10 days after the scores appear in the student’s College Board account.

We are proud of our juniors as they prepare to challenge themselves, showcase their abilities, and take this exciting next step toward graduation and beyond.
