Opting out is not allowed here, but even if it was, we wouldn't. DS's virtual school lets him accelerate a lot, which is what we want from them.

I have no problem with DS spending a small amount of time taking a boring easy test to help boost the school's scores. Testing is taken at the non-accelerated grade level. (Early grades don't have this testing, so it hasn't happened yet.)

What we would strenuously object to, though, is being forced to spend weeks or more preparing for the boring easy test. (We would leave the school if they wasted too much of our time.)
