California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP)

The California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress, or CAASPP, is the state academic

testing program. CAASPP is a system intended to provide information that can be used to monitor

student progress and ensure that all students leave high school ready for college and career. CAASPP

includes computer adaptive tests and performance tasks in English language arts, mathematics, and

science.

Students in grades 3-8 and 11 will take the computer adaptive tests in English and Math in spring of

2024. Students in grades 5, 8, and an assigned high school grade will take the tests in science. If you

would like more information regarding your school’s schedule, please contact your school’s main office.

Following the spring testing,student score reports will be available electronically to parents/guardians in

late summer/early fall. Reports will include an overall score, a description of the student’s achievement

level for English language arts, mathematics, science if applicable, and other information.

If you would like more information, please visit the CAASPP Parent/Guardian Resources Web page.

Parents and guardians have the right to exempt their students from taking the CAASPP assessments. If

you have any questions or concerns regarding your student’s participation, please contact your school’s
