The California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) and California Science Test (CAST) standardized assessment test scores released this month show Los Gatos-Saratoga Union High School District (LGSUHSD) students are outperforming their peers at most other public schools across the state, academically.
The District’s students ranked second in the state for both math and English / language arts among high school districts.
LGSUHSD has seen an almost 7% increase in English / language arts proficiency, in just the past year.
Taken by juniors last Spring, this annual assessment is given to public school students in the State of California in grades 3-8, and again in grade 11.
The district’s student assessment data for the 2023/2024 school year highlights the percentage of students who met or exceeded the state standards in English / language arts, mathematics, and science.
“Our students’ strong performance on state testing is a reflection of their hard work, as well as the dedication of our staff,” said Acting LGSUHSD Superintendent Heath Rocha.
“While we celebrate this incredible achievement, we recognize that state tests are just one measure of student success. As shared in ‘We INSPIRE,’ our strategic plan, we will continue to focus on fostering well-rounded individuals who are ready to thrive in every aspect of their future.”
