In 2015, California schools replaced their old state tests with new assessments designed to let parents and teachers know how well students are learning the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in today’s world. The new assessment system, California Assessment of Student Performance & Progress, includes traditional end of year summative assessments but also provides extensive additional resources for teachers and parents to support student mastery of the Common Core State Standards.

The summative assessments are part of the Smarter Balanced Assessment System which utilizes computer-adaptive tests and performance tasks that allow students to show what they know and are able to do. This system is based on the Common Core State Standards for English language arts/literacy (ELA) and mathematics.
