Assessments provide data and information for not only measuring student progress and performance, but also for evaluating our educational services and programming and determining strategies for improvement. See below for information on the assessments used in Antioch Unified School District.

Students and parents can find all assessment results in the Aeries Parent Portal.  If you need assistance accessing the Aeries Parent Portal, please reach out to your child's school and they can assist you in setting up your account.

The primary purpose of the CAASPP System is to assist teachers, administrators, students, and parents by promoting high-quality teaching and learning through the use of a variety of assessment approaches and item types.

The State Board of Education designated the FITNESSGRAM® as the PFT for students in California public schools. The test has five parts that show a level of fitness that offer a degree of defense against diseases that come from inactivity. The test results can be used by students, teachers, and parents. The FITNESSGRAM® consists of five fitness areas: Aerobic Capacity, Abdominal Strength and Endurance, Upper Body Strength and Endurance, Trunk Extensor Strength and Flexibility, and Flexibility.

Students in 5th, 7th, and 9th grade take the PFT.

About

In July of 2023, Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 114 into law. This legislation, which took effect January 1, 2024, adds Education Code Section 53008, entitled “Screening for Risk of Reading Difficulties.” It establishes new requirements for both the State Board of Education and Local Educational Agencies (LEAs).

Under this law, LEAs are required to screen all students in kindergarten through 2nd grade annually to identify those at risk for reading difficulties, including dyslexia. These universal screeners are not diagnostic tools but serve to identify students who may benefit from early supports. Students identified as "at risk" must receive targeted services, which may include:

• Evidence-based literacy instruction tailored to specific student needs

• Ongoing progress monitoring

• Early intervention through general education

• One-on-one or small-group tutoring

• Further evaluation or diagnostic assessment

Participation: Student in Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grade take the RDRS.
