California Assessment of Student Performance and ProgressThe California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) includes computer-based and paper-pencil assessments.

There is alsothe optional Standards-based Tests in Spanish (STS) for Reading/Language Arts (RLA).The Smarter Balanced Assessment System utilizes computer-adaptive tests and performance tasks that allow students to show what they know and areable to do. Smarter Balanced summative assessment results include student scores, achievement levels, and descriptors that describe performance.These assessment results are only one of several tools used to measure a student’s academic performance in ELA/Literacy and mathematics. SmarterBalanced assessment results are most appropriately interpreted alongside other available information about a student’s academic achievement, includingsuch measures as classroom assignments and grades, classrooms tests, report cards, and teacher feedback.This table displays the percent of students who met or exceeded state standards in English Language Arts/Literacy (grades 3-8 and 11) and Math(grades 3-8 and 11) for the past two school years, and Science (grades 5, 8, and 10) for the past three school years.California Assessment of Student Performance and ProgressPercent of Students Meeting or Exceeding the State 420152016201420152016--3743--3643--4448Mathematics (Grades 3-8 and 11)--4051--4051--3436Science (Grades 5, 8, and 10)----71----71605654English Language Arts/Literacy(Grades 3-8 and 11)The following table displays school-wide data for all students who took the Science assessment in grades five, eight, and and/or ten, broken down bystudent group.California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress sted% Met orExceededCAStandardAll .43Student GroupsNote: ELA test results include the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessment and the California Alternate Assessment. The “Percent Met or Exceeded”is calculated by taking the total number of students who met or exceeded the standard on the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessment plus the totalnumber of students who met the standard on the CAAs divided by the total number of students who participated in both assessments.Double dashes (--) appear in the table when the number of students is ten or less, either because the number of students in this category is too small forstatistical accuracy or to protect student privacy.Note: The number of students tested includes all students who participated in the test whether they received a score or not; however, the number ofstudents tested is not the number that was used to calculate the achievement level percentages. The achievement level percentages are calculatedusing only students who received scores.State Priority: Other Pupil AchievementThe SARC provides the following information relevant to the Other Pupil Outcomes State Priority (Priority 8): Pupil outcomes in the subject area of physical educationPhysical Fitness (School Year 2015-16)In the spring of each year, McKittrick Elementary School is required by the state to administer a physical fitness test to all students in grades five andseven.
