Plan Ends Semester Tests In Washington Schools
Washington junior highs drop semester tests and high schools make them optional as the district adopts a new plan. Principal Burge Hammond notes student apathy and the exams’ limited impact on final grades as key reasons.

Some courses like woodworking art and physical education were not set for summary tests though more grades are given during the term. Tests are now after unit completion and the former 18 week semester test week may become in class review period.
