23-24 SBAC Score Review

CAASPP/SBAC
Score Review Activity

​What is SBAC?

​SBAC refers to the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium test.
This test covers ELA and Math. It is given in grades 3-8 and 11, usually at the end of the school year. The SBAC is given in multiple states throughout the country.

​What is CAASPP?

CAASPP refers to the California Assessment of Student Performance & Progress system.

Think of it as the California version of the SBAC test. So when we say SBAC or CAASPP in school, we are basically talking about the same thing.

• Your results help your teachers figure out how they can support your learning in class.

• Your scores can help determine what classes you take next year (for example, Honors or Support classes).

• The test results keep your family informed of your progress in ELA and Math.
