Recent updates in Mathematics and Social Science emphasize 'Data Reasoning' and 'Ethnic Studies' respectively. Districts have flexibility in curriculum choice but must align to these state-adopted performance expectations.
Students in grades 3-8 and 11 are assessed via the Oregon Statewide Assessment System (OSAS). Science is specifically assessed in grades 5, 8, and 11. High school students must also meet personalized learning requirements and earn specific credits in core subjects for the Oregon Diploma.
