School Overview

At Bennett we believe in nurturing the whole child to ensure success in our diverse, multicultural, and multilingual world. Our approach goes beyond academics, as we prioritize both academic excellence and social-emotional wellbeing. We understand that true success comes from a balanced education that fosters not only knowledge but also empathy, resilience and adaptability. At the heart of our educational philosophy are core values that guide our students towards individual success and encourage them to be active contributors to their communities. We believe that by instilling these values our students will not only excel academically but also become compassionate and responsible global citizens.

Glossary

Science Assessments - WCAS - WCAS stands for Washington Comprehensive Assessment of Science, first administered in Spring 2018 to students state-wide in grades 5, 8 and 11. The WCAS is aligned to Next Generation Science Standards, which emphasize engineering and technology. The standards were adopted by the state in 2013. For more information please visit the OSPI State Testing website.

Smarter Balanced - Starting in 2014-15, Washington State adopted the Smarter Balanced exams to assess student learning in English language arts and math in grades 3-8 and 10-11. These computer-based exams are aligned to the state's Common Core learning standards. For more information please visit the OSPI State Testing website.
