Evaluation Services

As part of our commitment to ensuring that every student receives a high-quality education, Santa Rosa City Schools is required by the state to administer assessments in certain subjects and grades. These assessments help us measure student progress and identify areas where students may need additional support.

What is the purpose of these assessments?

The primary purpose of these assessments is to:

  • Measure student knowledge and understanding in core subjects like reading, writing, mathematics, science, and social studies
  • Identify areas where students may need additional support or enrichment
  • Help us make informed decisions about teaching and learning strategies
  • Meet state requirements for accountability and reporting

What kind of assessments will my child take?
The specific assessments your child will take will depend on their grade level and subject area. Some examples of the types of assessments we administer include:

  • English Language Arts (ELA) tests, which measure reading comprehension, vocabulary, and writing skills
  • Mathematics tests, which assess problem-solving, critical thinking, and math skills
  • Science tests, which evaluate knowledge of scientific concepts, processes, and practices
  • Physical fitness tests, which will help students in starting life-long habits of regular physical activity.

How will my child's assessment results be used?

We use student assessment results to:

  • Develop targeted support plans for students who may need extra help in specific subjects or areas
  • Inform teaching strategies and curriculum development to better meet the needs of our students
  • Provide parents and guardians with information about their child's progress and growth

How can I help my child prepare for assessments?

To help your child feel confident and prepared for assessments, consider the following tips:

  • Encourage regular practice and review of material through homework, reading, and online resources
  • Discuss test-taking strategies and time management techniques with your child
  • Encourage your child to ask questions and seek help from teachers or tutors if they're struggling with specific concepts
