California Assessment of Student
​Performance and Progress (CAASPP) 

On January 1, 2014, California Education Code Section 60640 established the CAASPP System of assessments. The CAASPP system includes the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC), The California Alternate Assessment (CAA), The California Science Test (CAST) and the California Alternate Assessment (CAA) for Science. The CAASPP is administered each Spring to California public school students in grades 3-11. Below is the Spring 2017 CAASPP administration schedule for the Los Gatos Union School District.
