Julie.
Only 10th graders take the HSA at the HS level, other new tests are being introduced at the HS level to measure "career and college readiness" but this was the first year pilot. There are 3 rounds of testing, one first semester and 2 second. At my school we are finishing up the 3rd round. At some schools taking the 3rd round is voluntary if you had a high enough score, while at others it is mandatory. Are you sure the kids are being forced to retest, or are they just taking the 3rd and final round of HSA for this year?
