Information regarding the specific assessments is below:

  • Smarter Balanced assessment for English Language Arts and mathematics in grades three through eight, and grade eleven (3-8 & 11). The Smarter Balanced assessments utilize computer-adaptive tests and performance tasks that allow students to show what they know and are able to do in English language arts and mathematics. 
  • California Science Test (CAST). The CAST is an online test based on the California Next Generation Science Standards (CA NGSS).
