The California Department of Education has released results for the California Smarter Balanced Assessments in English Language Arts and Math. California Science Test results have also been released. The test scores reflect the academic performance of students for a second consecutive year following the significant challenges posed by the pandemic. Local academic achievement scores mirror state and national trends.

“We are pleased to see some promising improvements in our statewide assessment data – especially in the areas of Math and Science,” said Superintendent Mike Kuhlman. “While our English Language Arts scores generally maintained or saw some moderate declines, the students of the Hart District continue to significantly outpace county and state averages. The data from these assessments affirms the hard work of our teachers and students while also helping us to identify areas for focused intervention to ensure increasing student achievement.”
