Alternate assessments are based on alternate achievement standards (AA-AAS) aligned with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for students with significant cognitive disabilities. The goal of the alternate assessment is to ensure that students with significant cognitive disabilities achieve increasingly higher academic outcomes and leave high school ready for post-secondary options. The alternate assessments are part of the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) System.

At the end of the last school year, your student took a computer-based test called the Smarter Balanced Summative Assessment (SBAC). This year-end test is part of the California assessment system and is aligned with California’s academic standards, which are the things we want students to know and be able to do. The goal of the standards is to have students graduate ready for college and a career.
