What happens if a parent refuses to have his/her child take a state test?
A student in grades 3-8 who doesn’t take a state test may miss out on having any learning issues identified sooner rather than later. These students also may miss out on the academic help paid for by the state and federal government; this help is often attached to an individual student test scores. High school students who do not take and pass a state assessment in reading and writing will not graduate.
