At NPA, no tests are timed and all test settings are considered small (no more than 18 students in the room). Students may select their day and their time. Students may select a full day, a half day, morning only, afternoon only, etc. We have some students testing virtually, we have some students testing in extra-extra small settings...(you get the idea). In 2023, NPA had 97% participation and we understand this is due to our honoring the "NPA" way of learning. 

 

CAASPP scores will be placed on the student transcripts beginning in the 2024/2025 school year.

Students meeting or exceeding standards will receive a pin at graduation in June 2025.

Scores will be reported on the district scholarship applications in the 2024/2025 school year. 

Scores impact state recognition such as the CA State Seal of Biliteracy and the Golden State Seal Merit Diploma

 

The Smarter Balanced Tests are not timed. In general, however, here are the average time breakdowns. 

 

The NPA class of 2024 has given us much to be proud of with the dashboard measurement of "Green" for Language Arts! The graph is below this informational text with a link to the CA Dashboard. Math continues to be an area of improvement. Yes, it's just a test. Yes, it's just one day of measurement. But yes, we are proud of our students and we are proud of our school! The Smarter Balanced tests are in alignment with junior English Language Arts and Mathematics standards and the curriculum used at North Point Academy. The class of 2025 is prepared.
