How California measures performance
- CAASPP (Smarter Balanced) tests in ELA and Math for grades 3β8 and 11.
- ELPAC tests English learner proficiency.
- CAST is the science test (grades 5, 8, and high school).
- The CA Dashboard combines these with absenteeism, suspensions, and graduation into a color-coded status across 13 indicators.
