The CSTs include English-language arts adn mathematics in grades 2 and 11; science in grades 5, 8, 9, 10 and 11; and history/social sciene in grades 8, 10 and 11. Student scores are reported as performance levels. Detailed information regarding CST results for each grade and performance level, including the percent of students not tested, can be found at the CDE website at http://star.cde.ca.gov. Note: To protect student privacy, scores are not shown when the number of students tested is 10 or less.

This table displays the percent of students achieving at the Proficient or Advanced level (meeting or exceeding the state standards).

Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR)

Through the California Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) program, students in grades 2 through 11 are tested annually in various subject areas. Currently, the STAR program includes California Standards Tests (CST) and a norm-referenced test (NRT). The CST tests English-language arts and mathematics in grades 2 through 11, science in grades 5, 9, 10, and 11, and history-social science in grades 8, 10, and 11. Prior to 2005, the NRT tested reading/language arts and mathematics in grades 2 through 11, spelling in grades 2 through 8, and science in grades 9 through 11. Beginning in 2005, the NRT tests reading/language arts, spelling, and mathematics in grades 3 and 7 only, and no longer tests science in any grade .

STAR TESTING SUMMARY

Westview students also scored higher than all California students. 26.6 % of Westview students scored in the proficient or advanced categories compared to 24% of all California students scoring in the proficient or advanced category.

In Earth Science, Westview students scored higher than LAUSD special and general education students. 26.6% of our students scored in the proficient range while 18% of all California students scored in the proficient range. Westview and LAUSD did not have any students in the advanced range. The entire state had 4% of its students scoring in the advanced category.
