Student Assessments

California's adoption of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) changed the way we prepare our students for college and career - and this changed the way our learners are assessed. To ensure our students are evaluated according to the latest educational standards, the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) is annually administered.
 
The Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments (SBAC) are part of California's system of assessments called the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) and is administered in grades 3-8, and 11. The SBAC assesses  English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science.  Several other tests are also included under the CAASPP umbrella:
  • California Alternate Assessment (CAA) - SBAC for students with significant cognitive disabilities.
  • California Spanish Assessment (CSA), allows students to demonstrate their competency in Spanish reading/language arts.
