OH State Tests

2016-2017 Ohio's State Tests Resources 

This summer, the Ohio Legislature made some important changes to legislation that impacts testing and safe harbor for teacher, student and districts in Ohio. These changes reflect the input of parents, teachers and administrators across the state.

Ohio's State Tests in English, math, science and social studies are designed to provide evidence of where students are in their learning of the knowledge/skills outlined in Ohio's Learning Standards. Teams of educators from across Ohio work with the Ohio Department of Education and AIR to build a quality test for Ohio's students. This will allow all of Ohio's State Tests to be administered on one platform. There will be one testing window this year, later in the spring. Test times will be shortened. Tests will still be based on Ohio's Learning Standards. The Grade 3 ELA State Test will be administered in Nov/Dec of 2015 and then again in the spring of 2016 to meet the Third Grade Reading Guarantee. Find out the most current information by signing up for the Ohio Department of Education's GovConnects email updates.
