    You can always sue. Seriously. You can sue someone for
    sniffling when you walk by. Seriously. Just hire an attorney,
    who will be happy to take your $200 per hour, and spend the
    money to file the paperwork. Sure, you can sue. Now, winning,
    that's another matter. You have no chance of winning a lawsuit
    against a district over this, just as you have no chance of
    winning a lawsuit against someone walking past you sniffling.
    So, if you'd like to spend thousands of dollars, go right ahead.

    While you may believe that you SHOULD know your score, is there
    a law that requires it? I believe that there SHOULD be a law
    that provides health care to every American resident. In fact,
    I believe in a law that makes it illegal for an individual to
    pay for their own health care, and that only a governmental
    system should pay providers (yep, pure socialism). However,
    there is no law that requires this and if I were to sue my
    doctor when he asks for money, I would lose. I also believe
    there should be a law that allows everyone without a criminal
    conviction to carry a firearm without license. That it would be
    the onus of the government to prove that someone should not
    carry a weapon and to specifically remove that right. However,
    again, there is no law that requires this and if I'm caught with
    a gun, I face criminal charges despite what I think I SHOULD be
    able to do. So, while I believe there SHOULD be things, the law
    doesn't support me and my beliefs.

    What you describe as a test is a structured interview with a
    structured scoring system. I'm not aware of any law, federal or
    state, which requires potential employers to release the results
    of such an interview. If you are aware of such a law, then you
    should consider suing under it. Of course, your name would be
    M-U-D among administrators in your district, since lawsuits
    create public records, but you would have the right to sue.
