Next week, May 20^th thru May 24^th, all Trabuco Hills High School Juniors will be taking the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) and the California Science Test (CAST). Eleventh grade students will need to be on campus before 8am and in their assigned rooms for testing. Room assignments will be posted this Friday, May 17^th on the front office window and on the window by the student store. 

All other students will begin classes at 10am if they have a period 1 class or 10:46am if they start with period 2. The schedule for the week is attached. 

If you are a Senior and DID NOT take the California Science Test (CAST) last year for any reason, you are assigned to attempt to take it this year. If you fall into this category, you will be notified. The CAST test will be on Monday, May 20^th.

If you are scheduled to take an AP exam during this week, we do not expect you to take the CAASPP/CAST test the same day. We understand that your AP exams are your priority. You will be given the opportunity to make up the CAASPP/CAST test during the week of May 28^th thru May 31^st. We only ask that you give us your best effort when you take the make-up.

It is important for all students to give their best effort on these tests for the following reasons:

1. The Early Assessment Program (EAP) will assist the California State University (CSU) system and the California Community College (CCC) system in providing information on readiness for college-level written communication and mathematics/quantitative reasoning prior to starting senior year. The results are used to determine appropriate coursework placement once you have been admitted. Students will have the opportunity to select "release" to provide this information to these institutions in the last question on each test. The release of CAASPP information will not affect a student's application for admission.
2. Saddleback Valley Unified School district will now be posting CAASPP scores on student transcripts. When you are applying to colleges they will have the opportunity to use this information as an additional factor in granting admission. 
3. If your child is a candidate for the State Seal of Biliteracy, Assembly Bill (AB) 1142 updates EC Section 51461(a)(2) to state that students must pass the California Assessment of English Performance and Progress (CAASPP) or any successor test, administered in grade eleven, at or above the "standard met" achievement level.
4. And probably the most important reason, Trabuco Hills High School has the highest CAASPP scores of all the high schools in Saddleback Valley Unified School District and we need our students to do their best to continue that trend.

 

 

 

Information coming soon.

Any students on 504s or IEPs who plan to test for the SATs or SAT subject tests:

We will be offering School Based Testing for students with Accommodations on the following dates for the 2019 - 2020 school year:

If any student would like to request testing with accommodations on our campus, they need to inform their counselors well in advanced to request these accommodations on these tests from the College Board, and then sign up for one of these tests dates if they plan to test using School Based Accommodations. If you are planning to test with accommodations on any tests, please inform your counselor well in advanced of the test so that proctors can be secured for your test administration.
