So, how do you measure student writing?
According to recent NCTE "inbox", this seems to sum up the accepted theory:

focus on writing that is student-owned, developed over time, and
guided by ongoing feedback and supportive response. These resources
explore the limitations of current standardized assessment and
suggest alternatives for authentic assessment.
