CASAS assessments support Five Keys in meeting WIOA and Charter School reporting requirements. Student participation and measurable skill gains help demonstrate program effectiveness, support accountability, and contribute to performance outcomes and funding.
CASAS testing is a program requirement for all Five Keys students. It serves as a benchmark assessment to measure students’ academic skills and progress.
All students must test within two weeks of enrollment.
Students will be required to post test every 40-100 hours of instruction. Every date of attendance from continuous enrollment will equal 1.3 hours of instruction.
For example:
31 days of attendance = 40.3 hours of attendance
54 days of attendance = 70.2 hours of attendance
Please see our Assessment Team 26-27 Calendar for post-test windows.
CASAS has no grade-level cap.
Results are mandatory for CDE funding.
All High School Diploma (HSD) and High School Equivalency (HSE) students are required to complete both Reading and Math CASAS assessments, regardless of whether they need additional Math credits. CASAS testing is a program requirement and is separate from the student's academic credit requirements.
CASAS Post-tests are required for both HSD & HSE completers.
Assessments should be in School Pathways before requesting certification.
