Our transition to Common Core State Standards, supported by the implementation of Pearson Common Core content that is loaded on student iPads, will continue to support innovative teaching to prepare our students for college success and beyond.

  5. How will your child be tested? New exams will replace current California Standardized Tests that students take at the end of each school year. The new exams will assess the student level of understanding in each subject and each grade level with questions that are aligned to the new Common Core State Standards. IMPORTANT - the adaptive exam will increase in difficulty as students answer more questions correctly. This will provide a more accurate assessment of our student proficiency.
