School Test Scores (FAQ)
This report contains test scores for DESERT SPRINGS MIDDLE SCHOOL.
California has an extensive state testing program administered in grades 2 - 11. Subjects tested include:
Grade 8 - California Standards Test
In 2008-2009 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.
