..so they lost basically the last half of the school year
During testing weeks students are not learning new material and after testing most people are giving either busy work or teaching next year's material.

Yes. We had finished 6 of the 8 grading periods for the year. The day they closed the schools our school had already started preparing for ACT tests for 10th-12th graders (meaning they were doing something called pre-bubbling that day - filling in all the preliminary name, address, etc.). Once ACT was done, the emphasis was going to be very heavy on LEAP test.
A lot was lost, don't get me wrong, but it was far from half a year. And a lot of it was geared towards standard testing which was lifted for the year. A lot of us have been able to keep the majority of our students engaged and working via online efforts, but i'm sure there are others who haven't.

Elementary and Middle Schools in Louisiana would have finished annual testing this week. They lost about 2 weeks of real instruction, then review, testing and then most do field trips, enrichment, awards days, and prep for the next year after testing.
High Schools are still prepping for AP exams which will be online this year and allowing students to improve grades.
All Louisiana schools were in the last quarter before the shut down.
