About Re-Thinking Testing

Re-Thinking Testing seeks to:

1. Educate parents and community members about how high-stakes testing hurts students, schools, and public education

2. Inform community members abut the fiscal impact of high-stakes testing on school budgets and on their school taxes

3. Examine how high-stakes testing takes away resources from other educational and after-school programs that the local community values
