Smarter Balanced Assessments Hawaii State Assessment - Next Gen Science
The SBA ELA and Math exams and HSA-NGSS tests will be given to all 7th, 8th, and 11th-grade students in accordance with the Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015. The Hawaii DOE strongly encourages all parents to have their children participate in the exams so that we can better identify their academic strengths and needs.
The SBA exams will be administered during the DOE test window from February through May. The juniors will take the SBA during the last week of the 3rd quarter. Most middle school students will take the SBA during the month of April, and the 8th science exams in May. Students will be scheduled according to grade level and will participate with their class. Any health and safety protocols in effect at that time will be adhered to strictly.
Parents are provided more information about the Smarter Balanced exams on the Starting Smarter website and in-depth resources at Resources for Students & Families on the HIDOE portal. All parents/guardians should have received their access codes to view their student results online. If you did not receive an access code, please contact the Testing Center.
