Standardized Testing
In accordance
with the California Public Schools Accountability Act, the California
Department of Education has implemented standardized tests to ensure
compliance with curriculum guidelines and measure academic progress in
California public schools.
Academic Progress Reporting (APR)
takes into account a school’s state Academic Performance Index (API) in
addition to federal measures of Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) and
Program Involvement (PI). Together, these reports help ensure compliance
with state and federal guidelines.
Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) measures
achievement on the California Achievement test, given each year to
students in grades 2-11. These tests assess whether a school is meeting
state educational goals and measures progress from year to year.
Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) is a federal
accountability system mandated by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001
which requires each state to ensure that all schools and districts make
Adequate Yearly Progress.
