CAASPP Assessment Information
-
If your child was in grades 3-8 last school year (2015-2016), they took part in the 2016 California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP). CAASPP is California’s new computer-based set of tests for English language arts/literacy (ELA) and mathematics. These tests, developed by the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC), assess California’s Common Core Standards and replace the former Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) program’s paper-based, multiple-choice California Standards Tests (CSTs) in ELA and Mathematics. Students in grades 5 and 8 also participated in a paper-pencil CAASPP assessment when science assessment.
Very soon, parents and guardians will be mailed individual student score reports for CAASPP, which will include detailed information about their child’s performance.
Follow the links from the California Department of Education (CDE) to learn more about the CAASPP and how to interpret information about your child’s results.
