State Testing - CAASPP
The California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) is designed to give information to teachers, students, and their families about what students know and are able to do and whether they are on track to be ready for success in college or a career when they graduate from high school. Each spring, students take the following assessments: GRADES 3–8 - Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments in English language arts/literacy and mathematics OR California Alternate Assessments (CAA)*GRADES 5, 8 - California Science Test or CAA for Science**Available for students with the most significant cognitive disabilities if the CAA is designated in their active individualized education program.
SNAP SHOT OF THE SCORE REPORTS - CAASPP results give us a key measure of how well students are mastering California's challenging academic standards in English language arts/literacy and mathematics. The skills called for by these standards—the ability to write clearly, think critically, and solve problems —are critical to success in college and 21st-century careers.
