Welcome to Second Semester! 

Standardized testing takes place in March, and April, depending on your student’s grade level. ACT, FORWARD, and Pre ACT dates are listed in this OCHS test schedule. Regardless of your child’s grade level, please review this schedule as several dates impact in-person student attendance.

Oak Creek High School students in grades 9 and 10 will take the Pre ACT, formerly referred to as the ASPIRE, on Wednesday, April 12 and the FORWARD Exam will be administered to students in grade 10 on Wednesday, March 22. These exams are required by Wisconsin state law. The state entered a ten year test administration contract so longitudinal data can be reported. The assessments include multiple choice and constructed response questions. Students will use their Chromebook to respond to both types of questions. Please be certain your child comes to school with a charged Chromebook. 

In addition, all Wisconsin students in their junior year will take the ACT exam on Tuesday, March 7 also required by state law. 

It is important that your child is in attendance, comes prepared, arrives early, gets plenty of rest the night prior, and eats a healthy breakfast. Please remind your child that during the exam, he/she will want to read the directions thoroughly, look for clues, answer all questions, and leave enough time to review their answers.

While just a part of the total picture, standardized test data provides important student achievement information. Your child’s test results, classroom assessments, work products, and teacher feedback provide a comprehensive picture of your child’s learning. Thank you for your partnership as you reinforce appropriate test prep strategies at home.
