Standards, Assessment, and Accountability Division

All students are expected to take a California Standards Tests in English Language Arts corresponding to their grade level. In addition, students in Grades 4 and 7 are administered a California Writing Standards Test. Students are given 60 minutes to write an essay in response to an assigned task. The types of writing used for the test vary from year-to-year and are based on California's Writing Application Content Standards. Beginning in 2006, student papers are scored by a reader using a 4-point scoring guide and the scores are multiplied by two. Since 2002, the writing test scores have been incorporated into the overall English Language Arts scores for Grades 4 and 7.

The reports below, for the district as a whole and for individual schools, display the results for the English Language Arts and Writing Standards Tests. For English Language Arts, the reports show by grade level the number of students tested and the numbers and percentages of those students who scored at each performance level: Advanced, Proficient, Basic, Below Basic, and Far Below Basic. Students scoring at Proficient or Advanced are considered to have met the state standards. For writing, the reports show for Grades 4 and 7 the number of students tested and the numbers and percentages of those students scoring in certain ranges.
