If kids have to take a test in school, they usually do. But in Wisconsin’s private schools, their parents are increasingly writing notes so they don’t have to.
Many students across Wisconsin are taking the state’s standardized test right now. But parents can opt their children out of the Forward Exam in both public and private schools by submitting a written request.
While public schools often see higher overall testing participation, recent data shows some of the private schools getting taxpayer-funded vouchers have high opt-out rates, with some voucher students skipping the exam.
