B. Pupil Outcomes

State Priority: Pupil Achievement

The SARC provides the follow ing information relevant to the State priority: Pupil Achievement (Priority 4):

Statewide assessments (i.e., California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress [CAASPP] System, which includes the Smarter Balanced SummativeAssessments for students in the general educat ion populat ion and the California Alternate Assessments [CAAs] for English language arts/literacy [ELA] andmathematics given in grades three through eight and grade eleven. Only eligible students may part icipate in the administrat ion of the CAAs. CAAs items arealigned w ith alternate achievement standards, which are linked w ith the Common Core State Standards [CCSS] for students w ith the most significant cognit ivedisabilit ies); and

The percentage of students who have successfully completed courses that sat isfy the requirements for entrance to the University of California and the CaliforniaState University, or career technical educat ion sequences or programs of study.

CAASPP Test Results in ELA and Mathematics for All StudentsGrades Three through Eight and Grade Eleven Percentage of Students Meeting or Exceeding the State Standard

Note: Percentages are not calculated when the number of students tested is ten or less, either because the number of students in this category is too small forstat ist ical accuracy or to protect student privacy.

Note: ELA and Mathematics test results include the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessment and the CAA. The "Percent Met or Exceeded" is calculated by taking thetotal number of students who met or exceeded the standard on the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessment plus the total number of students who met the standard(i.e., achieved Level 3-Alternate) on the CAAs divided by the total number of students who part icipated in both assessments.

The CAA for Science was pilot-tested for two years (i.e., 2016–17 and 2017–18) and the CAA for Science w ill be field-tested in 2018–19.

Note: Science test results include the CAST and the CAA for Science. The “Percent Met or Exceeded” is calculated by taking the total number of students who met orexceeded the standard on the CAST plus the total number of students who met the standard (i.e., achieved Level 3–Alternate) on the CAA for Science divided by thetotal number of students who part icipated on both assessments.
