In the absence of the California state Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) program,
schools are accounting for student achievement growth utilizing the following measures:
 Benchmarks which measure English and Mathematics growth for grades Kindergarten through 11 grade
 California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE) beginning in 10th grade
 Advanced Placement (AP) Exams for grades 9 through 12
 California Standards Test (CST) in science for grades 5, 8, and 10
 California English Language Development Test (CELDT) for English Language learners
 Scholastic Reading Inventory (SRI) for 2nd and 3rd grade students
 Early Assessment Program (EAP) which tests Mathematics and English Language Arts for 11th grade students
 Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) and the American College Testing (ACT)
th
The Monrovia Unified School District instructional leaders utilize these multiple measures when making decisions regarding
programs that are provided for students in our schools.
