State Assessments
CAASPP California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress
Please Note: As part of the review of the 2017-18 Smarter Balanced statewide assessment data, the California Department of Education (CDE) and its contractor, Educational Testing Service, identified a single grade eight mathematics item that was inadvertently included in the 2017-18 assessment. As part of our efforts to ensure that all student assessment results are accurate, the California Department of Education (CDE) has decided to rescore tests for those students who received the item. Only a minority of eight grade students received the item, which means that the majority of grade eight student results will not be affected. Please click here to read the letter from the CDE.
