State Assessments
Parent Guide to Understanding State Testing
The Parent Guides to Understanding are two-page flyers written in easy-to-understand language that answer key questions (what, why, who, how, and when) about California's assessment programs. Information is also included about how parents can support their student's success.
The Starting Smarter website includes information on student score reports, sample test questions, parent-teacher conferences, and other no-cost resources in English and Spanish.
The ELPAC test is used to measure how well students in kindergarten through twelfth grade understand English when it is not their primary language.
