Students and Families Pages ­on Ohio’s Test Portal Updated

Because families are critical partners in every student’s success, the Department is committed to ensuring that families are well informed about how to help their student succeed in school and beyond. The updated Students and Families pages provide many new resources for families to help support their students’ success. The pages feature documents and videos to help families understand more about Ohio’s tests, including a testing calendar, how to understand a student’s score reports and a glossary of commonly used terms. See the Department’s website for more information about updates to the Students and Families pages and detailed instructions for accessing the pages on the test portal. For questions and/or to share comments about Ohio's test portal Students and Families pages, please contact the Office of Assessment at statetests@education.ohio.gov.
