SAT's
agasma7
I forget if they are called SAT's or something else. The name keeps
changing.
We are in California and I am aware there is madatory testing for
grades 2-high school.
If my children don't have the "standards" met for the year, then does
that jepordize anything with regard to Home schooling?
How do I know where to take the tests?

I think you should do some research on CA 's R4 option that you send in and then you are considered a private school.
There is no required testing that way, from what I understand.
Atoz Homeschool has quite a bit of info and I'm sure that there is a statewide secular homeschool group that can help.
I take it you are with a charter?

We were with a Charter. We won't be using anymore charters or
curriculum sets. I was under the impression that all children had to
take these tests if they were homeschooled, unschooled, private
schooled, public schooled...
I will double check.
I do plan on filing an R-4 which I can do online.
Thanks for the input!

Since you mentioned an R4, I assume you're in California. You should
join the HSC email list (HomeSchool Association of California) for
specifically California related information. The list is:
<[email protected]>
NO kids in California actually have to be tested - public, charter,
private, or any others. The schools don't tell you this, but the law
says that parents can opt out of testing for their kids by sending in
a written note, to the school, saying that they do not want their
kids tested. So even as a charter school student, you can opt out.
However, a charter may refuse to enroll the child the next year if
you choose to opt out of testing.
As a private school (which you are if you are filing an R4), you do
not have any reporting requirements or testing.
