  • 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 grade 10 WASL is a high school graduation requirement.
  • The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.

  • The grade 10 WASL is a high school graduation requirement.
  • The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
