Once a year the kids had to take a standardized test (Stanford as I recall) to show they were ‘on target’ for their grade(s).

What happens to government schooled kids who are below their grade level on standardized exams? Are they forced to homeschool? ( sarc/off)

“What happens to government schooled kids who are below their grade level on standardized exams? Are they forced to homeschool?”

sarcasm aside ... in OUR school district a kid in public school who tests below grade level gets extra help. If a kid is capable of achieving better, the schools here do put the resources into bringing him/her up to grade. If the student is not capable of achieving at grade level, they are usually in a special ed program. I can’t speak for anywhere else in the state or country.
