1992 CAP Scores

How to Read the Scores

Appearing on this page are the results of the 1992 California Assessment Program test for eighth-graders. Here is a guide on how to read the scores:

* Five areas were tested: Reading, writing, mathematics, history/social science and science.

Schools are listed alphabetically and by district. Scores are scaled roughly between 100 and 400, although some scores may be higher or lower.

Average scores are given for each area tested, and school and district averages may be compared to the statewide and countywide averages.

Two measures of a school’s progress are shown.

* The two-year change (shown as “Ch2”) gives the average increase or decrease since 1990, the last year the test was given.

* The base-year change (shown as “Chb”) shows the growth or drop since the tests began.

The base year for the reading, math, history and science exams was 1985-86; for writing, it was 1986-87. Schools or districts that were formed after those years have different base years.

In general, a fluctuation of less than 10 points is not significant, although state education officials say the margin of error varies depending on the size of the school.

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.

Because the statewide test is meant to give a snapshot of schoolwide academic performance, individual student scores are not given.

“NA” indicates figures were not available.
