Must North Carolina non-public schools administer to its students the same standardized tests as administered to North Carolina public school students?
No. The chief administrator of each conventional non-public school chooses which nationally standardized achievement test is administered. The nationally standardized test for grades 3, 6 and 9 must measure achievement in the areas of English grammar, reading, spelling and mathematics. The grade 11 test must measure competencies in the verbal and quantitative areas. Non-public school law also requires that the test results be kept on file at the school’s office for one year after the testing date for annual inspection by a DNPE staff representative.
