California State Assessments

Our school participates in California state assessments to help measure student learning and support academic growth. These tests show how well students are meeting grade-level standards and help guide instruction. 

• CAASPP: Students in grades 3–8 and grade 11 take CAASPP tests in English, Math, and Science.
• Smarter Balanced: These computer-based tests focus on English and Math and measure problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
• CAST: The California Science Test is given to students in grades 5, 8, and high school.
• ELPAC: The ELPAC test supports students' English language learning by measuring reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills.
• Physical Fitness Test (PFT): Students in grades 5, 7, and 9 take the Physical Fitness Test to measure strength, flexibility, and endurance.

State assessments are one of many tools we use to support student success and improve learning at our school.
