Scantron’s Performance Series
Dehesa Charter School has partnered with Scantron to bring students
Performance Series. These standards-based, online assessment delivers a unique test
to each student based on their ability level. Reading, Language Arts, and Math performance-based
assessments are provided free of charge for all Dehesa Charter School students.
These tests can empower the teacher and parent with timely, diagnostic data that
can impact instruction immediately.
The assessment itself is unique in that it adapts to the student's ability, accurately
measuring what a child knows and needs to learn. In addition, this assessment measures
academic growth over time, independent of grade level or age. Most importantly,
the results students receive have practical application to the learning process.
Contact your Educational Facilitator to begin using this assessment tool.
STAR Program
The tests in the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program are an important
part of the state assessment system. These tests are administered each spring to
measure how well students are achieving state content standards. These achievement
tests target English-language arts and mathematics in all grades tested. In addition,
tests in science and history-social science are given in selected grades.
The two components of the test administered at Dehesa Charter School are the California
Standards Tests and the CAT/6. The California Standards Tests (CST) were developed
specifically for California public schools. These tests are aligned to state-adopted
content standards in reading, writing, mathematics, history-social science, and
science. The California Achievement Test, Sixth Edition Survey (CAT/6), is a nationally
norm-referenced test used to compare how California students are doing in relation
to students of the same grade level nationwide.
Please review grade-level released questions to better understand these tests.
