California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress

The California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) is a statewide testing program designed to evaluate students' knowledge and skills in key subjects, including English language arts, mathematics, and science. Administered primarily in grades 3 through 8 and 11, these assessments help gauge how well students are meeting academic standards. The results provide valuable information for educators, parents, and policymakers to enhance teaching and learning, ensuring that students are prepared for college and careers. CAASPP focuses on critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, moving beyond traditional multiple-choice tests to include performance tasks and applications.
