California Standards Tests (CST)

The California Standards Tests (CST) are standardized assessments administered to students to measure their understanding of key subjects such as math, English, science, and history, aligned with California's academic standards. These tests provide insights into students' academic progress and help educators evaluate the effectiveness of instruction. Results can inform instruction, identify areas needing additional support, and contribute to school accountability measures. The CSTs are designed to assess critical thinking and mastery of grade-level content, supporting ongoing efforts to improve educational outcomes across California schools.
