CAASPP testing is a series of tests that show academic growth. In high school, these tests help place you in college classes that accommodate the students’ levels of learning. These tests are for Juniors when it comes to high school testing. The Freshman and Sophomores took practice tests to prepare for their Junior year.
A few of the major issues a majority of students faced were Internet connection problems and the apps being open even after closing them. Throughout the week students had to take their tests in the library due to these complications. This lowered the amount of time they had for the test.
If we move to the schedule topic, most students did not appreciate the new layout for the week. We don’t have a seventh period on Monday but after that it’s fifty minutes. When added together we are in seventh period longer than any other period.
During the week of testing there was balloons at the entrance along with music. The staff passed out smarties, granola bars, Gatorade, popcorn, cup of noddle, and rice crispy treats throughout the week for students. Students were given raffle tickets, and those tickets were drawn during lunch for prizes in the office.
