CAASPP California Assessment Student Performance and Progress
California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress Reports (CAASPP):
- New measure for assessing student relative to the new Common Core State Standards
- Parents/guardians will receive individual student scores; based on computer-based tests in English language arts/literacy and mathematics
- Score will range from 2,000 to 3,000
- Four rating levels include: standard not met, standard nearly met, standard met, and standard exceeded
- Student strengths and concerns will be noted
- English focus: reading, writing, listening, and research
- Mathematics focus: problem solving, using concepts and procedures and communicating mathematical reasoning
- Each of these areas (English and mathematics) will be rated: below standard, at or near standard, and above standard
- Grade 11 students will also receive a rating on their readiness for credit-bearing college-level work
- Grades 5 and 8 will also receive individual scores for the California Standards Test for Science
- Refrain from comparisons between the CAASPP and previous tests; they are different
- This first year is a baseline year; starting point
- Most students will need to make significant progress; don't be discouraged
