The district gives standardized tests to evaluate student and school performance. The tests provide information that can be used to improve the learning environment in classrooms, to measure the effectiveness of curricula, and to compare the achievement of Mukilteo students with students elsewhere in the state and nation.

The Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA) measures student achievement toward Common Core State Standards in English/language arts (ELA) and in math. The tests are given in the spring to all 3rd through 8th grade students and to 10th grade students. In addition, students in grades 5, 8, and 11 are given the Washington Comprehensive Assessments of Science.

The school district also administers other standardized tests for program placement and evaluation of learning. The English Language Proficiency Assessment for the 21st Century (ELPA21) is administered to all English language learners who are developing English proficiency skills. For more information, call 425-356-1218.

Students in grades 8 through 12 can earn up to four high school World Language credits by passing a proficiency exam in another language. For more information, call 425-356-1218 or see the World Language Proficiency Exam (WLPE) information on the district’s Assessment website.

To earn a diploma from ACES, Kamiak, or Mariner high schools, a student is required to complete 24 course credits, as established by the Mukilteo School Board, develop a High School and Beyond Plan, and pass required state tests or complete a state-approved alternative to those tests.
