These tests help families and educators understand how students are learning. In 2025, California adopted new reporting achievement level descriptors and labels.  \nStarting with the 2025–26 school year, you will see new reporting labels on your child’s score reports. These new reporting labels make the results easier to understand.  \nWhat Has Changed?  \nCalifornia has adopted new labels and descriptions of student achievement levels. The full descriptions can be found on the Reporting Achievement Level Descriptors web page.  \nLevel Old Reporting Label New Reporting Label  \n4 Standard Exceeded Advanced  \n3 Standard Met Proficient  \n2 Standard Nearly Met Developing  \n1 Standard Not Met Minimal  \nWhat Has Not Changed?  \nOnly the reporting labels and descriptions are changing. The test questions, format, and scoring stay the same. Because nothing else has changed, you can still look back at your child’s test history to see their progress.  \nWhy Was the Change Made?  \nThe new reporting labels and their descriptions are meant to help students, their families, and the public better understand student performance on the summative ELA, math, and science assessments.  \nThese new reporting labels and their descriptions address an inaccurate perception that Level 3 represents a grade-level cutoff and students who score below Level 3 are “below grade level.” All of the items on the assessment measure grade-level standards, just at different levels of understanding. All four reporting levels represent grade-level learning, just at different points along the path toward Increasing degrees of complexity and sophisticated understanding.  \nWhere Can Students and Families Get Support?  \nVisit the California Starting Smarter website for more information, sample test questions, and resources for how to support your child.  \nCalifornia Department of Education • April 2026","cbCaif57ZVIbsymP","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaif57ZVIbsymP","pdf",107284,"English","# What Has Changed?\n## What Has Not Changed?\n# Why Was the Change Made?\n# Where Can Students and Families Get Support?","[{\"question\":\"Which subjects and tests use the new reporting achievement level descriptors?\",\"answer\":\"The new labels apply to state tests in English language arts/literacy (ELA), math, and science, helping families and educators understand student learning.\"},{\"question\":\"What specifically changed for families starting in the 2025–26 school year?\",\"answer\":\"Only the reporting labels and their descriptions changed.
