CAASPP and ELPAC Assessment Result Updates

CAASPP email update, April 26, 2024.

Dear LEA Coordinator:

ETS and the California Department of Education are excited to announce that beginning this year, students and families will receive redesigned Student Score Reports (SSRs) for the CAASPP and ELPAC summative assessments. Redesigned SSRs for the Initial ELPAC and the Initial Alternate ELPAC will be available for the 2024–25 school year.

Sample SSRs can be viewed on the CAASPP Sample Student Score Reports web page and the ELPAC Sample Student Score Reports web page. The newly redesigned SSRs include improved results comparisons, links to resources, and more detailed English language arts/literacy (ELA) and mathematics results information, including Lexile® and Quantile® measures. For more detail, view the Key Messages About the 2023–24 Redesigned Student Score Reports and the SSR Redesign Benefits Flyer.

Combined CAASPP SSRs

With the redesigned SSRs, ELA, mathematics, and science results are all combined into a single PDF SSR for both the general and alternate assessments. SSRs will be made available once all applicable CAASPP assessment results are available for the student.

HTML SSRs

For both CAASPP and ELPAC SSRs, HTML versions of the SSR will be available starting this year. LEAs whose parent portal vendor is set up to receive this file format can distribute HTML SSRs through the parent portal. LEA coordinators can check with their parent portal vendor to confirm if this format will be available.

Starting Smarter

In May, the CAASPP Starting Smarter website and ELPAC Starting Smarter website will also be updated to align with the redesigned SSRs and to feature a wider range of resources for students, parents, and guardians.

Questions about assessment results should be directed to your assigned LEA Success Agent for support. Visit the California Outreach web page for other support options.

Sincerely,

California Outreach Team
