K-12 Learning Standards

Entiat School District utilizes several research and evidence-based assessments to support student learning.  Our PK - 12 teachers collaborate regularly to review student assessment results to remediate, meet, and extend student learning needs.  This approach to data-driven instruction helps teachers inform and differentiate their standards-based instruction for all our students.  For more information on Washtingon State Learning Standards, see below..
