These tests are based on California’s rigorous academic standards, which are designed to help every student graduate ready for college and a 21st-century career. If Sophia took these tests in the third grade, this report also shows her scores from last year. You can compare this year’s scores to last year’s as one measure of her progress. Please keep in mind that as Sophia advances to the next grade, the standards are higher. FOR THE PARENT/GUARDIAN OF: SOPHIA JACKSON 1234 MAIN STREET YOUR CITY, CA 12345 While tests are just one way to measure Sophia’s progress, the results can help the teacher(s) and the school focus on areas in which students need more help. I encourage you to be involved in your child’s learning, and discuss these results with Sophia’s teacher(s). SCHOOL: California Elementary School LEA: Sincerely, California Unified Tom Torlakson, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Statewide Assessments: One Measure of Sophia’s Progress These results are one measure of Sophia’s academic performance and provide limited information. Like any important measure of your child’s performance, they should be viewed with other available information—such as classroom tests, assignments, and grades—and they can be used to help inform a conversation with Sophia’s teacher about how to progress in English language arts/literacy (ELA) and mathematics. What is CAASPP? The CAASPP ELA and mathematics tests reflect California’s state-adopted standards, which will help prepare students for college and a career in the 21st-century job market. These tests contain a wider variety of questions than traditional multiple-choice tests and include tasks that require students to explain how they solve problems. The tests allow students to demonstrate analytical writing, critical thinking, and problem solving skills along with their knowledge of facts in ELA and mathematics. California may also develop new assessments in other subjects, including, but not limited to, science, history, and social science aligned with stateadopted content standards. To learn more about these tests, visit the CDE CAASPP Summative Assessments Web page at http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sa/sbacsummative.asp. What do my child’s scores mean? There are four levels of scores for ELA and mathematics for 4th grade: Standard Not Met Level 1 Standard Nearly Met Level 2 Standard Met Level 3 Standard Exceeded Level 4 ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS/LITERACY 2131–2415 2416–2472 2473–2532 2533–2663 MATHEMATICS 2204–2410 2411–2484 2485–2548 2549–2659 Score ranges for each level are different for each grade, and the content standards for the next grade are higher than for the previous grade. To understand your child’s overall performance, consider both the score and the achievement level. If your child took the ELA and mathematics tests in the preceding year, you can see on the front of this report how your child’s score and achievement level for 2016 compares to the previous grade.

By participating in CAASPP, grade 11 students also receive information about their readiness for college-level courses after graduating from high school. Each CAASPP achievement level corresponds to a different level of college readiness under the Early Assessment Program (EAP). Students who are conditionally ready or not-yet ready for college coursework are encouraged to further develop their skills during their senior year. Please see the Grade 11—EAP Status section below for more information. What do my child’s scores mean?

Grade 11—Early Assessment Program (EAP) Status The California State University (CSU) and participating California Community Colleges (CCCs) will use the English language arts/literacy and mathematics assessments of the CAASPP System to determine Bella’s 2016 EAP status, which will provide an indicator of Bella’s predicted readiness to take college-level English and mathematics courses when Bella begins college. The CAASPP overall score and achievement level for English language arts/literacy and mathematics shown on the front of this report can be used to provide an early indicator of Bella’s readiness for college-level coursework, as described below: • Standard Exceeded: Ready for English and/or mathematics college-level coursework. • Standard Met: Conditionally Ready for English and/or mathematics college-level coursework. Students earning a status of Conditionally Ready (Standard Met) can be exempt from the CSU’s placement test and the Early Start Program by taking an approved senior year course and earning a grade of C or better. • Standard Nearly Met: Not yet demonstrating readiness for English and/or mathematics college-level coursework. • Standard Not Met: Not demonstrating readiness for English and/or mathematics college-level coursework. Review the information on the CSU Success Web page at http://CSUSuccess.org/ to see how this information can help avoid the need for additional testing upon entering a CSU or CCC. 12/18/2015 1:25 pm dsib-adad-jan16item02 Attachment 1 Page 7 of 7 STUDENT SCORE REPORT 2016 Initial, Creation Date: Month DD, YYYY California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress Using Assessments to Help Students Learn Dear Parent/Guardian of Austin Russell: LOCAL ID #: 9999999999 STUDENT #: 9999999999 DATE OF BIRTH: 04/01/2000 This report shows Austin’s scores on the California Standards Test (CST) for science.

These online assessments are based on California’s rigorous academic standards, which are designed to help every student graduate ready for college and a 21st-century career. 10 Spring 2016 FOR THE PARENT/GUARDIAN OF: AUSTIN RUSSELL 1234 MAIN STREET YOUR CITY, CA 12345 Sincerely, SCHOOL: California High School LEA: While tests such as CAASPP are just one way to measure Austin’s progress, the results can help the teacher(s) and the school focus on areas in which students need more help. I encourage you to be involved in your child’s learning, and discuss these results with Austin’s teacher(s). California Unified Tom Torlakson, State Superintendent of Public Instruction Austin’s Results on the California Standards Test for Science SCIENCE Austin’s score is 267—Far Below Basic Austin’s score of 267 is in the Far Below Basic level on the California Standards Test for science. 267 Far Below Basic (150–267) Below Basic Basic Proficient Advanced (268–299) (300–349) (350–409) (410–600) State target for all students California is transitioning to recently adopted Science Standards.

As part of California’s transition to these new standards, tests aligned to the new standards are under development. Next Year: A New Kind of Test for Austin The CAASPP tests for English language arts/literacy and mathematics that Austin will take next year in grade 11 will be more challenging than California’s previously administered exams because they test students on deeper content that is needed to prepare for college and the 21st-century job market. These new tests contain a wider variety of questions, tasks, and problems than traditional multiple-choice tests. This allows students to demonstrate analytical writing, critical thinking, and problem solving skills along with their knowledge of facts. Test results are one window into a student’s academic growth; a single test can provide only limited information. Like any important measure of your child’s performance, they should be viewed with other available information, such as classroom tests, assignments, and grades. Further, assessments represent just one part of California’s comprehensive plan for high-quality teaching and learning. California is phasing in more training for teachers, more resources for students, and more access to technology. These changes take time and effort. They are designed to help students succeed in the long run and achieve their dreams of college and a career. Find out more at your child’s school or on the CDE’s Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/.
