State and Standardized Tests
Each spring all RUSD students in grades two through eight take the Standardized State Test. The results of these tests compare our students performance with other students in the state and are mailed to the parents in August. The results shown on these pages are from the school year 2009 - 2010 and will be updated when the 2010 - 2011 scores are released.
California Standardized Tests (CTSTs)
In accordance with California Public Schools Accountability Act, the California Department of Education has implemented standardized tests to ensure the compliance with curriculum guidelines and measures academic progress in California public schools.
California Progress Reporting (APR) takes into account a school's Academic Performance Index (API) in addition to federal measures of Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) and Program Involvement (PI). Together, these reports help ensure compliance with state and federal guidelines.
Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) measures achievement ion the California Achievement test, given each year to students in grades 2-11. These tests asses whether a school is meeting state educational goals and measures progress from year to year.
Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) is a statewide accountability system mandated by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 which requires each state to ensure that all schools and districts made Adequate Yearly Progress.
