Curriculum Based Assessment

Students prepare for CBAs during regular classroom instruction since the assessments are based directly on the lessons, skills, and materials taught in class. Families can support students by encouraging regular attendance, completion of assignments, review of classwork, and good study habits. Teachers may also share specific review materials or study guidance when appropriate.

Yes, parents may contact their child’s teacher to request information about CBA results. Teachers may share scores, feedback, or reports that explain how the student performed on the assessed skills and standards.

CBAs are administered in core subject areas based on grade level and course. These typically include reading/language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, and other content areas as determined by the district curriculum.

The district uses CBAs to monitor student learning and academic progress throughout the year. CBAs provide teachers, students, and families with timely information to guide instruction, address learning gaps, and support student growth. These assessments help ensure instruction is aligned to curriculum standards and student needs.

CBAs are administered throughout the school year at key points in instruction. Assessment windows and schedules are determined by each department  based on curriculum pacing.

Teachers use CBA results to adjust instruction, provide targeted support, and plan interventions or enrichment. School administrators may review results to monitor grade-level or campus-wide trends and ensure instructional effectiveness across the curriculum.
