As a whole, California students showed progress on both English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics (Math) state educational standards, with 49% of students performing at or above ELA standards and 37% of students performing at or above Math standards. This is a 5% and 4% growth vs. last year results respectively. Congratulations to all students, parents, teachers, educators, and stakeholders and educational leaders throughout California for a job well done! Let's keep the momentum going as we continue to settle in to the new school year.
The primary concern remains that more than 50% of students in California continue to perform below standard (51% ELA - 63% Math) so there is much work to be done and plenty of progress to be made as we continue to prepare students for both college and career. The challenge remains to do our best so that students can meet and exceed the standards set so they may have the tools they need to succeed.
