OAKS

The Oregon Assessment of Knowledge & Skills (OAKS) is administered annually to students in grades 3 through 8, and 10 throughout districts in Oregon. The purpose of these tests is to assess both district, school, and individual student progress toward meeting the Oregon Standards in Reading, Math, Science, and Writing. OAKS is administered at the following grade levels:

• Reading - Grades 3 through 8, Grade 10
• Mathematics - Grades 3 through 8, Grade 10
• Science - Grades 5, 8, and 10
• Writing - Grades 4, 7, and 10

The tests are administered online via the OAKS Online system at your student's school, with the exception of Writing, which is administered in a paper/pencil format. For OAKS Online tests, students may have up to three opportunities to test in each subject assessed for their grade level during the testing window.

In early September, the Oregon Department of Education releases district and schoolwide OAKS scores on-line and to the media from the previous testing year.

For individual student results, please contact your student's school.
