Testing

Minnesota state statute requires nonpublic/homeschool students to take a standardized, nationally normed achievement test each year. The name of that test must be included with new registrations and annual re-enrollment.
 
Note: test scores are not shared with our office or school district, but your records need to include documentation of this testing and should be available on demand if required.
 
Anoka-Hennepin Schools do not offer student assessment testing to its homeschool educators. One resource available for assessment testing is the Minnesota Statewide Testing Program (U of M). Please contact 612-626-1803 for more information.
