Standardized Tests
Standardized tests are a crucial component of the high school experience, offering students a valuable opportunity to demonstrate their academic skills and readiness for college. These assessments, such as the SAT, ACT, PSAT, ASVAB, AP, EOPA, EOCs, and various state-mandated exams, provide a measure of student performance. They may also help colleges and universities evaluate applicants on a common scale, ensuring fairness and equity in the admissions process.

ASVAB
Walton assists military personnel in proctoring the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) once per semester. Juniors and Seniors are encouraged to register for the ASVAB if interested in pursuing a military career. Even if they are not considering a military career, juniors and seniors are still encouraged to take the ASVAB, as it serves as an excellent career interest and skill inventory, providing valuable feedback for those exploring various career options outside of the military.
