State Testing
California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) Summative Assessments and California Science Test (CAST) 2024-2025
Each spring, students participate in the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP).
Depending on your child’s grade, they will take the following tests:
● Students in Grades 3 – 8 and 11 will take English language arts/literacy (ELA) and mathematics tests
● Students in Grades 5, 8, and 11 will take a science test (grade 12 will take if they have not taken it in HS yet).
The computer-based tests measure what your child knows and can do.
To learn more about the CAASPP system, go to the California Department of Education Parent Guides to Understanding webpage at
