Here’s how your county and California did on the 2018 state test

California students did slightly better in English and math on this year’s state test than they did last year, state education officials announced Tuesday morning, Oct. 2.

In the state, 49.88 percent of students met or exceeded the English Language Arts/Literacy standards, a 1.32 percentage point increase from 2017, a news release states. In math, 38.65 percent of students met or exceeded standards, a 1.09 percentage point improvement from 2017.

“We’re encouraged by what we see, especially since these tests are more rigorous than previous paper and pencil tests,” state Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson said in a statement. “However, we need to make sure all students continue to make progress. We must continue our work to narrow achievement gaps as we raise the bar for our students, and better prepare them for 21st century college and careers.”

This is the fourth year that students across the state have taken the computer-based exam, known as the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress.

The test measures student achievement at four levels: standard exceeded, standard met, standard nearly met and standard not met.

Results for Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties show that Orange County had the most students meeting or surpassing the standards in English and math. Orange County had more students meeting or surpassing the standard than students across the state.
