Standardized Test Administration

Most homeschoolers in Colorado are required to evaluate the academic progress of their children in the odd grades beginning in the third grade by using a nationally standardized test or by having an evaluation done by a qualified evaluator. Learning in the Springs can assist you with test administration for standardized tests.
