In SAUSD, there are many ways that we measure a child’s learning. Teachers use report card grades, classroom work, teacher observations, and end-of-year statewide test results to get a complete picture of students’ learning. For the 2023 spring administration of the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) and the Summative English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC), students will continue to take their assigned tests in-person. Click here for important information regarding these assessments. 

The 2023-24 open enrollment process has begun in SAUSD! Visit our website here for important information on the lottery process for fundamental schools and the Advanced Learning Academy (TK-8), and for information on comprehensive school enrollment.
