Though the federal government requires that 95% of enrolled students take these tests, students or families in Oregon can choose to opt out of OSAS Math and ELA tests. To “opt out” of OSAS science tests, families must submit a written exemption request on the basis of accommodating a student’s disability or religious beliefs.
