State of California Assessments
As you may have heard, the state of California released the results from the 2015 Spring assessments.

There is a video prepared by the California Dept of Education (CDE), which explains how to read the new student reports. CAPTA.org has links to this video in Spanish and English as well as links to grade level parent guides to the new assessments on its homepage.

In addition this week, EdSource published an article answering many frequently asked questions that come up when discussing the new assessments:
http://edsource.org/2015/california-smarter-balanced-math-english-results-common-core-faq/86181.

Since this test is brand new, you cannot compare the results from the tests in the spring to the results from tests taken in the past. These results will set a baseline for future comparisons and guiding instruction in the future.

The California Department of Education has results for every school and district as well as a ton of additional resources http://caaspp.cde.ca.gov/
