Jessica just got her scores for the WASL this weekend. That is the standard testing here in Washington "Washington Assessment of Student Learning". They just passed a law two years ago that you have to pass this test to be able to graduate. It consists of four parts - Reading, Writing, Math and Science. You are not suppose to start taking the WASL until your Sophomore year, but they give Freshman the option to take the Reading, Writing and Math portions if they would like. Jess wanted to get it out of the way, and since she is in advanced Math and Honors English she figured she would be fine.
Well, fine she was! In order to pass reading you have to have a score of 400 - 427. Jess got 442, exceeds expectations. Math is suppose to be between 400 - 434. She got a 408, meets standard (as a freshman! Most freshman aren't even in that level of math yet, the reason most don't take it). But the best was writing. In order to pass you need between 17 and 21. Jess got a 24 - the highest marks you can get!! Way to go Jess!
Jessica's biggest goal and dream in life is to be able to be a published writer. Well, she's definitely on the right track. Good job Jessica!
