California's Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) program, which includes the California Standards Tests (CST), the California Modified Assessment (CMA), and the California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA), measures the achievement of California content standards for grades two through eleven. STAR results include English-language arts and mathematics in grades 2-11, science in grades 5 and 8-11, and history-social science in grades 8, 10, and 11. In high school, math and science tests reflect the course in which the student is enrolled. There are five benchmarks to indicate a student's proficiency on STAR. "Proficient" or "Advanced" indicates that a student is meeting or exceeding state standards, which is the desired achievement goal for all students.

The California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE) is primarily used as a graduation requirement in California, judged pass/fail. But the results of this exam are also used to determine Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for high schools, as required by the federal No Child Left Behind (NCLB) law. For purposes of calculating AYP, three performance levels were set: Advanced, Proficient, and Not Proficient. Students must score Proficient or above to meet performance goals for AYP.

Students take the California Fitness tests in grades 5, 7, and 9. Students are expected to meet Physical Fitness standards in six areas: Aerobic Capacity, Body Composition, Abdominal Strength, Trunk Extensor Strength, Upper Body Strength, and Flexibility. The California Department of Education has more detailed information on these fitness tasks.

1The four-year graduation rate is the number of students who graduate in four years with a regular high school diploma divided by the number of students who form the adjusted cohort for the graduating class.
2The total number of students will not be equal to the sum of the subgroup student numbers since there is overlap in the Ethnic, Gender, and Other subgroups.
Note:Charter schools that are statewide benefit charters or are operated by the State Board of Education are reported as districts. Direct funded charter schools also are reported as districts and do not have their data aggregated with other schools in the authorizing district. All other charter schools have their data aggregated with the data from other schools in the authorizing district.
* To protect student privacy, no data are provided if the number of students is less than 11.

Grayed out cells in the above table indicate there are no students reported for the group.
Source: California Department of Education, Data Reporting Office (CalPADS, DataQuest - Cohort Outcome Data by Program, 11/8/2013).
The four-year cohort graduation rate is calculated by dividing the number of students in the 4-year adjusted cohort who graduate in four years or less with either a traditional high school diploma, an adult education high school diploma, or have passed the California High School Proficiency Exam (CHSPE) by the number of students who form the adjusted cohort for that graduating class.

However students from the cohort who (1) pass the General Education Development (GED) test, (2) complete requirements necessary to obtain a special education certificate of completion, or (3) remain enrolled in the 9-12 instructional system without a high school diploma are not included in calculations for either the cohort graduation or cohort dropout rates. Thus, the cohort graduation rate and the cohort dropout rate will not always sum to 100%.

California began using cohort data to report graduation rates with the 2009-10 school year. Because the 4-year cohort graduation rate is calculated differently from the NCES completer rate that was used previously, rates before 2009-10 cannot be compared to rates in 2009-10 and subsequent years.

For more information, see our article on Dropout/Graduation Rates.

Note: Schools administered by the County Office of Education receive the county-wide rate. Alternative Schools Accountability Model (ASAM) schools that are not Direct Funded Charters and not County Office of Education administrated receive the district-wide rate.

1The four-year dropout rate is the number of students who dropout in four years or earlier divided by the number of students who form the adjusted cohort for the graduating class.
2The total number of students will not be equal to the sum of the subgroup student numbers since there is overlap in the Ethnic, Gender, and Other subgroups.
Note:Dropout rate calculations are not posted for schools that:
  • have one or more grade levels with zero enrollment.
  • are operated by County Offices of Education because of constraints in interpreting these calculations with high mobility schools.
* To protect student privacy, no data are provided if the number of students is less than 11.

Grayed out cells in the above table indicate there are no students reported for the group.
Source: California Department of Education, Data Reporting Office (CalPADS, DataQuest - Cohort Outcome Data by Program, 11/8/2013).
The dropout rate is the percentage of students that leave the 9-12 instructional system without a high school diploma, GED, or special education certificate of completion and do not remain enrolled after the end of the 4th year.

The 4-year cohort dropout rate is calculated using student-level information and dividing the number of students that dropped out by the number of students in the adjusted cohort, or group, of students that entered the 9th grade four years earlier.

Note that students from the cohort who (1) pass the General Education Development (GED) test, (2) complete requirements necessary to obtain a special education certificate of completion, or (3) remain enrolled in the 9-12 instructional system without a high school diploma are not included in calculations for either the cohort graduation or cohort dropout rates. Thus, the cohort graduation rate and the cohort dropout rate will not always sum to 100%.

The California Department of Education began reporting cohort dropout rates with the 2009-10 school year. Because a different calculation for dropout rates was used previously, rates from before 2009-10 cannot be compared to rates in 2009-10 and subsequent years.

For more information, see our article on Dropout/Graduation Rates.

Note: Schools administered by the County Office of Education receive the county-wide rate. Alternative Schools Accountability Model (ASAM) schools that are not Direct Funded Charters and not County Office of Education administrated receive the district-wide rate.

The majority of college-bound students in California take the SAT college admissions exam, now called SAT Reasoning Test. In 2005-06, the total possible score changed from 1,600 to 2,400.



State Tests

California uses a variety of tests to determine school and district performance, primarily through the Standardized Testing and Reporting program (STAR). While test scores are not currently available on Ed-Data, the California Department of Education's website has full testing results.

Assessment results for every school, district, county and the state are at http://star.cde.ca.gov. That site also has breakdowns by categories, such as ethnicity, language, gender, income and more.
For information about the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE), go to http://cahsee.cde.ca.gov.
The results of the California English Language Development Test (CELDT) are at http://celdt.cde.ca.gov.

See the Ed-Data document Understanding California's Student Testing and Reporting Program for a comprehensive explanation of California's extensive testing program.
