Attention Carson Families,
Carson High School 11th graders will be taking the California Assessments in Math, English, and Science starting on Monday, April 28 until Friday, May 9. Testing will occur from 10AM-12PM each day, except for Tuesday. Learn more using the resources below.
*Seniors who did not take the CAST previously must take the CAST.
What are SBA and CAST?
The Smarter Balanced Assessments (SBA) provide an annual measure of what students know and can do based on the Common Core State Standards for English language arts/literacy (ELA) and mathematics. Additionally, the California Science Test (CAST) measures students' understanding and abilities according to the California Next Generation Science Standards, covering three science domains: Earth and Space Sciences, Life Sciences, and Physical Sciences.
