Assessments

Supporting Student Achievement

Every spring, Manzanita students take the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessments (CAASPP) in English Language Arts and Mathematics. 8th Graders also take the California Science Test (CAST) .

Results from these assessments help teachers, families, and students assess how well grade-level standards are being met and determine how to better support both educators and learners.
