California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP)
CALIFORNIA'S TESTING SYSTEM
Each spring, students from our district in grades 3-8 take part in the statewide administration of the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) program's Smarter Balanced assessments.
The CAASPP score reports provide parents, schools and state with valuable information on student performance on the academic standards.
The CAASPP reports will provide the following information:
1. Student scale scores will be based on a 1000-3000 scale
2. Four new achievement level bands
- Standards Exceeded and Standards Met are considered proficient
- Standards Nearly Met and Standards Not Met are considered non-proficient
- To view achievement level bands for Language Arts and Mathematics - click on Achievement bands
3. Additional information on the areas that make up the student's overall scores
NEW FOR FAMILIES: STARTING SMARTER WEBSITE
The California Department of Education (CDE), in collaboration with the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium and Educational Testing Service, launched a new website to help empower parents/guadians and families to become partners in their children's academic success.
Starting Smarter for the CAASPP
This family-focused website provides resources to facilitate parents'/guardians' understanding of the scores presented on their child's Student Score Reports. Using this website, families can become involved in their child's educational progress and:
- Learn more about the performance areas in each subject and grade.
- See sample test questions.
- Prepare for parent-teacher conferences with a useful downloadable guide.
- Access high-quality resources to support learning at home.
