• SAT


    The SAT School Day is the state’s general summative assessment for high school. It is
    administered on paper to all grade 11 students, except those who take the West Virginia
    Alternate Summative Assessment, or DLM. The SAT School Day is given during a regular
    school day in the spring of each year.
    For the 2020-2021 school year, the SAT School Day is scheduled to be administered on
    Tuesday, April 13, 2021. Make-up testing will take place on Tuesday, April 27, 2021.
    Results will be shared with students and parents/guardians as soon as they become
    available.
    The SAT School Day is a nationally recognized college and career-readiness assessment
    administered by the College Board and is accepted at colleges and universities throughout
    West Virginia and the nation for both college admissions and placement. It can also be used
    to qualify for the PROMISE Scholarship. Students have access to practice SAT tests
    through Khan Academy, which also provides West Virginia educators and students access
    to online content and resources to help prepare students for taking the SAT School Day.
    SAT School Day allows Mingo County Schools to offer the SAT to currently enrolled juniors
    during the school day, which expands access to a globally recognized college admission
    test that is accepted at all U.S. colleges and universities.

     

    The West Virginia Alternate Summative Assessment (WVASA)

    student academic performance based on the West Virginia Alternate Academic
    Achievement Standards for English, mathematics, and science.

    mathematics. Students in grades 5, 8 and 11 are also assessed in science.
    Mingo County Schools will administer the WVASA/DLM during the state testing window,
    March 29 – May 28, 2021. Results will be shared with students and parents/guardians as
