1990 CAP SCORES

HOW TO READ THE SCORES

These are results of the California Assessment Program test for third, sixth and eighth grades.

State officials say the scores are intended to provide a way to assess schoolwide academic performance. Students do not receive individual scores.

Schools are listed alphabetically by district. Scores are scaled between approximately 100 and 400, although a few scores may be higher or lower. A school’s scores may be compared to district and state averages. For example, if the third grade at your school scored 295 in math, and the state average is 283, children at your school are performing at a higher level than most third-graders statewide.

In general, a fluctuation of 10 points or less should not cause alarm, although state education officials say that the margin of error varies depending upon the size of the school.

Students in grades three and six last spring were given multiple-choice tests in reading, written language (including grammar and spelling) and mathematics. Last spring’s eighth-graders were tested in reading, math, history-social sciences and science. Eighth-graders also took an essay test to assess their writing skills. Results of the essay test are expected next month.

In some cases a specialized or “magnet” school has its campus on the grounds of a regular school. State officials have combined the scores, so separate results are not available.

These scores are for schools in the central Los Angeles area. Scores for other Los Angeles Unified schools appeared previously in this section. Additional scores will appear in appropriate suburban sections over the next several days.
