It is recommended that the Board of Trustees receive information regarding the California Standards Test (CST) in Science annual results for the 2016 administration. Furthermore, they will received information regarding local assessments.

The CSTs (California Standards Tests) for Science in grades five, eight, and ten are administered only to students in California public schools. All questions are multiple-choice. These tests were developed specifically to assess students' knowledge of the California content standards for science. The 2016 CSTs were required for students who were enrolled in grades five, eight, and ten at the time of testing.
Because the state only tests once a year in key areas (Math, Reading and Science), it is necessary to collect ongoing assessment data throughout the year.
