Every spring we administer the California Standards Tests to all of our students. The results of these important tests are used to measure the progress of our students, to judge the effectiveness of our instructional programs and to compare our school with others across the state. The results from last spring have arrived!
We are pleased to see improvement in the achievement of our students across the grade levels. The chart below summarizes the results. Each student's score falls into a proficiency level, from Far Below Basic (FBB) to Advanced (A). Our goal is for our students to achieve at the Basic, Proficient or Advanced levels.
