Testing is an important time to take the academic temperature of students and the school. We take measurements constantly in our classrooms to help our students succeed, and master their schoolwork. The following is a list of the many different testing programs. Follow the links at the bottom to find your child's grade and testing results on standardized tests.

Mathematics benchmark exams are district-developed, standards-based assessments for students in Grades 1-7, and students enrolled in algebra and geometry. These exams assess students' understanding of content taught in each unit of study. Assessment results help determine supports needed to assist students in developing literacy and mathematics skills.

English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC) Testing
ELPAC - English Language Proficiency Assessments for California
State and federal law require that districts administer a state test of English language proficiency (ELP) to eligible students in kindergarten through grade twelve or ages 3-22. The ELPAC is aligned with the 2012 California English Language Development Standards. It is comprised of two separate ELP assessments: one for the initial identification of students as English learners (ELs), and a second for the annual summative assessment to measure a student's progress in learning English and to identify the student's level of ELP.
Initial & Alternate Initial ELPAC - 2023-24 Initial July 3, 2024 - June 30, 2025 Site ELPAC Coordinator Essentials will be located in Safe Schools.
Summative & Alternate Summative ELPAC - FEBRUARY 1, 2025 - MAY 31, 2025 Site ELPAC Coordinator Essentials will be located in Safe Schools.
