State Testing. To help all students graduate ready for college and to pursue a career, N.E.W. Academy administers the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP). This test is designed to help inform all stakeholders on how students are meeting the California Common Core State Standards. It is only one measure the school uses to evaluate its programs, staff, and student progress. The CAASPP test is computer-based. The test challenges students to think critically, analyze problems, and explain how they arrived at their solution. Teachers give students multiple opportunities throughout the year to practice and learn the computer program. These tests are given once a year in the spring to students in grades 3-5. Your child will be tested in English Language Arts and Mathematics. If your child is in fifth grade, they will also take the state science test. Students in our Dual Language program will also take the state test in Spanish. The test results are released in the summer and mailed home. The report will show if your child has exceeded, met, nearly met, or did not meet the grade level standards. If you have concerns or questions about your child’s test scores, it is important to meet with his/her teacher.
