Oregon homeschool laws

Oregon parents must notify their local Education Service District (ESD) within 10 days of withdrawing a child from school or starting to homeschool. Students must be tested at the end of grades 3, 5, 8, and 10 (or every year if the student joins school sports or other interscholastic activities). Testing must be finished by August 15, and parents keep the scores and send them to the ESD only if it asks. New homeschoolers have an 18-month grace period before the first test. Rules apply from age 6 through 18.

Expect a notice plus some form of evaluation, such as a portfolio review or a standardized test.
