CAASPP 2023 Testing Schedule

Carolyn Clark Elementary School will administer 2023 California state tests from April 17 - May 26.  The schedule below is subject to change, so please read teacher newsletters for the most up-to-date dates and times.

Carolyn Clark students in grades 3-6 will take California state tests for language arts, reading, and math. 5th graders will also take the state science test called CAST and fitness test. 6th graders will take a math placement test for middle school. Make up tests take place May 25-26. All tests will be given in the morning from 8:30 - 10:30 a.m.

Please plan any appointments during testing days after your child's testing window so they are able to take tests as scheduled. Results called Student Score Reports (SSR) from tests will be available electronically approximately three weeks after a student completes an assessment. Read this webpage to learn more about state testing testing.

Completing programs such as Jose Valdéz Math, Math Enrichment, or other programs over the summer does not qualify students to skip classes or be placed in advanced classes for the coming school year.

While we understand the desire to challenge and accelerate your child's learning, math placement is determined by the MDTP assessment of your child's academic performance, readiness, and potential. This assessment takes into account a variety of factors, including but not limited to, grades, standardized test scores, and teacher evaluations.

We encourage all of our students to engage in academic enrichment opportunities over the summer, as these can greatly benefit their overall academic growth and development. However, we want to emphasize that such programs are not considered for advanced placement.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support of your child's education.
