West Virginia General Summative Assessment

West Virginia General Summative Assessment (WVGSA)

Home School Students will register in March, 2021. A registration link will be provided at that time.

All students in grades 3-8 in Jefferson County Schools will be assessed between April 20 and May 22 this year.

Each school will provide parents with the testing schedule.

The Assessment for students grades 3-8 is completed entirely online.

Students will test over multiple days, typically one test per day.

*The assessment is computer-adaptive, such that how a student answers one question may determine the follow-up question, and features a set of questions from a testing vendor. This question bank will be supplemented by items designed by West Virginia Educators.

Subjects Assessed	Grade Levels Tested	Number of Days to Complete
ELA	3-8	up to 2
Math	3-8	1 day
Science	5 & 8	1 day

*each tested segment is estimated to take the students approximately 2 hours to complete.
