General Information and Testing Dates
Please check regularly for updates
The Arizona Department of Education is responsible for administering statewide assessments of students enrolled in Arizona public schools. All public schools, including district schools and charter schools, are required to administer state and federally mandated assessments. State testing is a tool that provides stakeholders, including parents, the opportunity to have information on a student's academic success thus far.
QCVA's goal is to prepare students for these assessments and get 100% participation for Grades 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 11.
QCVA facilitators are looking forward to working together with our students and their families to provide a conducive testing experience and environment for these state tests.
It’s important to note, based on Arizona law, students that fail to comply with the testing requirements shall not be allowed to participate in Arizona online instruction. It is imperative that students participate and complete these assessments during QCVA's testing dates.
