GRADE LEVELS
Description
Grade levels are defined as the specific stages of education within California’s education system that are targeted for on-demand standardized external assessments. These assessments are designed to evaluate students’ knowledge and skills at different points in their educational journey. In addition, grade levels encompass the various stages of education that are integral to the science assessment system, ensuring that all relevant educational progressions are accounted for in the evaluation process. By focusing on these defined grade levels, the education system aims to provide a structured approach to assessing student performance and understanding across multiple subjects, including science.
