California Assessment Program Test Results : HOW TO READ THE SCORES

The information on high- and low-performing schools is based on average math and reading scores on the 1987-88 California Assessment Program test taken by third- and sixth-graders, and the average of scores in five CAP subject areas taken by eighth-graders in the state. The listings below show how individual schools performed on the CAP tests compared to schools of similar background (based on such indicators as parents’ education and income level, the number of families receiving welfare assistance and the number of limited-English-speaking students).

* The first column shows the grade level for the school.

* Next is the performance index. The highest ranking is 1. For third and sixth grades, this means that the grade met a statewide target set for that grade in 1983-84. For eighth grade, the target was set in 1985-86.

A 2 applies only to third and sixth grades and means that they met a more modest growth target set in 1985-86.

A 3A means that no targets were met and the CAP score average was in the middle 50% of comparable schools.

A 3B means that no targets were met and the score was in the bottom 25%.

* The next column shows the difference between the 1983-84 CAP score and the 1987-88 score.

* Column 4 shows average 1987-88 combined CAP reading and math scores for each grade level. CAP scores are scaled from about 100 to 400.

* Column 5 shows the grade’s percentile ranking among grades levels at similar schools.
