Bellingham Test Scores
In grades 3-8, and 10, Bellingham students take the Smarter Balanced exam for English language arts and math. Students in grades 5, 8, and 11 take the Washington Comprehensive Assessment of Science. High school students take end-of-course exams in many core subjects like English, algebra, biology, and others.

You can also get a tutor’s guidance when studying for the ACT, SAT, HSPT, GMAT, or other tests that help determine admission or placement in a private school, college, or a graduate program. Your private tutor can cover content, details about the format and timing of a test, and strategies that could help maximize your score.
Bellingham tutors offer numerous benefits when studying academic subjects as well. For one, a tutor can quickly discover your child’s interests, strengths and weaknesses, goals, and preferred learning style. Taking these into account, a tutor can develop study sessions that focus on your child’s unique needs. Tutors also often prioritize building solid rapport with a student so there's open communication.
