CAASPP Testing
Testing will affect students in grades 9-11 this year in the following areas:

9th/10th - Interim Assessment Blocks
(IABs) in English & Math
11th - ELA/Math
Please make sure to encourage your students to get plenty of sleep, eat a good breakfast and get to school on time for testing days.

Testing will take place in students' 2nd period classes.

For 11th graders, the CAASPP Tests can affect many different things:
  • 12th grade English class placement (ERWC vs. Dual Enrollment)
  • Reclassification from EL status (Must earn a 3 or 4 on the ELA writing)
  • Counts as the EAP (Early Assessment Program) for college
  • Students will not have to take the placement exam for English & Math classes upon entering college
  • Seal of Biliteracy Requirement (Must earn a 3 or 4 on the ELA writing)
  • Overall scores will reflect upon how well Ganesha is preparing our students for the exams
