Homeschooled students in Michigan are NOT required to test. So why test?

While completely optional, there are many benefits of having your child take a standardized test through MiCHN and BJU.

PROTECT HOMESCHOOL FREEDOM

Establishing a compilation of test scores nationwide and within each state, lends credibility to the educational excellence of homeschool students. Because homeschooled students historically score very high, the larger the number of students tested, the more convincing our scores become to both legislators and the public.

Your participation is encouraged, not only for your own information, but to continue to safeguard our freedoms.

LEARN TEST-TAKING SUCCESS

Following directions, relaxing under pressure, pacing oneself, and completing work in an allotted time are all great skills that can be honed through taking tests.

Testing can be a valuable preparation for college entrance exams such as the ACT and SAT.

PROVIDE A BENCHMARK

Standardized tests indicate how your child compares academically to other children at his grade level. 

While we do have the privilege of seeing our children learn on a day-to-day basis, it is beneficial to assess a child’s year-to-year development of learning.

Standardized test scores help to reveal your child's academic strengths and weaknesses, allowing you to focus your planning and choose curriculum accordingly.

***The compiled test score data to be published and shared with those questioning the validity and effectiveness of homeschooling, will be combined scores of homeschool students statewide and nationwide, never individual scores.

When you test with MiCHN & BJU, MiCHN will receive a group report (based on ANONYMOUS student data), allowing us to showcase to legislators or other government officials and skeptics the success of home-educated students in Michigan.

Breaking News! Legislative Update March Continued '24
Report From the Capitol: Breaking News! Rep. Kara Hope (D) has revealed that the author of one of the pending homeschool registration bills is Rep. Kimberly Edwards (D) of the 12th House District. Her district includes part of Macomb and Wayne counties. We strongly encourage anyone in her district to call, email or visit one of her coffee hours to express your opposition to her pending bill. The bill has not yet been introduced to the House Education Committee, so it does not yet have a number and the contents of the bill have not yet been released to the public. Also, because it is in draft mode, it is very likely that Rep. Edwards and her unidentified "workgroup" are still developing the final wording that will be presented for a vote. Because Rep. Edwards is a member of the House Education Committee, it is appropriate to contact her even if you do not live in her district. If this bill passes, it will impact ALL homeschoolers in the state, not merely families in her district. Rep. Edwards' contact info can be found here: https://housedems.com/kimberly-edwards/ [email protected] (517) 373-0852 Please be kind and respectful in your communications. If you need an example of what you could write, please see page 4 of this PDF document: https://tinyurl.com/5t2khhjx The main thing is, use your own words and let her know how positive homeschooling has been in your experience and that additional regulations will not help protect children nor give them better academic outcomes. See the research here: https://tinyurl.com/2c3vb3rk This bill may be introduced at any time, so we encourage you to contact your local senators or representatives as well and ask them to oppose any future homeschooling regulations that may be introduced.
