Test Results

 

The purpose of this notification is to inform you that California’s new multiple measures accountability system is now available on the California Department of Education (CDE) Web site at https://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/cm/. The new system is reported through the California School Dashboard (hereafter referred to as the Dashboard).

 

Also available on the CDE Web site is the Five-by-Five Placement Report which can be accessed at https://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/ac/cm/. While the Dashboard displays the Status (current performance), Change (difference from prior performance), and performance level (color) for each state indicator, it does not identify which of the 25 performance results the district, school, or student group received. The Five-by-Five Placement Report identifies the location of the LEA, school, or student group on the five-by-five grid.
