The WASL is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Washington.
The different student groups are identified by the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. If there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.
The grade 10 WASL is a high school graduation requirement.
The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
