California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP)

The California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) is a comprehensive assessment system used in California's K-12 public schools to measure students' academic proficiency in various subjects, including English language arts/literacy and mathematics.

CAASPP assessments are aligned with California's academic standards and are designed to provide educators, parents, and policymakers with valuable information about students' learning progress and areas where additional support may be needed.

The CAASPP system includes computer-based assessments and performance tasks that assess critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Results from CAASPP assessments are used to inform instructional decisions, evaluate school and district performance, and identify trends in student achievement.
