Assessment, Research and Evaluation

The department of assessment, research & evaluation is responsible for assessing student achievement, progress, and outcomes; conducting research on issues of interest to school and district staff; and evaluating program effectiveness. We promote using data to inform decision-making that support our district's Strategic Directions. Our mission is to strive for continuous improvement and excellence for all students and programs.

California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress

California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) is California’s statewide student assessment system. Results of these assessments inform parents and educators on their students' continual progress for each grade level and college and career readiness. 
 
Pursuant to California Education Code 60615, parents/guardians may submit to the school a written request to excuse their child from any or all parts of CAASPP.  Students who opt out of the grade 11 CAASPP do not qualify for the State Seal of Biliteracy (SSB) (EC 51461(a)2).  
 
The Early Assessment Program (EAP) uses the grade 11 Smarter Balanced summative assessments in English Language Arts and math to identify students who are ready for college-level credit-bearing English and math courses. To ensure alignment with Board Policy/Administrative Regulation 6162.51, CAASPP scores will no longer be on student transcripts. As always, students will be able to opt in to voluntarily send their CAASPP scores by checking a box during the actual administration of the test, as noted below. Grade 11 students may choose to release their test results to the California State University (CSU) and participating California Community Colleges (CCC) at the end of the online tests.

This data helps guide our work with students alongside other assessments, such as our FASTBridge screener. SRVUSD administers this screener to all students in grades K-12 three times per year (fall, winter, and spring). This is in addition to classroom-specific assessments that all teachers administer. FASTBridge offers data throughout the school year in order to provide the appropriate just-in-time supports our students need in order to thrive academically.
 
We will get back to the scores we all know and expect in SRVUSD. The district has many resources to support student learning, including:
  • All schools have student support time built into their schedules so that all students can access support.
  • MTSS Liaisons partner with classroom teachers to deliver instruction & intervention.
  • Equity Liaisons who ensure all underserved populations make academic gains. 
  • Collaboration time is built into all teacher schedules so they have time to analyze assessment data, including CAASPP data, in order to determine what supports are most appropriate for individual students and/or groups of students.
 
Preliminary observations of the data include the following:
 
  • SRVUSD students continue to achieve at high levels overall; especially when compared to aggregate county data.
  • Overall 2022 SRVUSD CAASPP scores fell 2 percentage points in English Language Arts and 5.5 percentage points in math
  • CAASPP is an important summative measure used in a number of ways to determine individual student performance as well as the overall educational effectiveness of our programs and curricula.
 
State Accountability Measures
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, state law allows the 2022 Dashboard to only display the most current year of data (also known as Status). For this year only, performance levels will be reported using one of five Status levels (ranging from Very High, High, Medium, Low, and Very Low) for state measures. Please note that the Status levels associated with the Chronic Absenteeism and Suspension Rate Indicators are reversed (ranging from Very Low, Low, Medium, High, and Very High). Information regarding this year's Dashboard data is available within the Dashboard Communications Toolkit.

DataQuest
DataQuest is the California Department of Education’s web-based data reporting system for publicly reporting information about California students, teachers, and schools. DataQuest provides access to a wide variety of reports, including school performance, test results, student enrollment, English learner, graduation and dropout, school staffing, course enrollment, and student misconduct data.
