4th Grade Students Proficient in English/Language Arts

County: Sacramento

Measurement Period: 2022

This indicator shows the percentage of fourth grade students who are proficient or above in English/Language Arts.

This value refers to student scores on the Smarter Balanced Assessment portion of California's statewide student assessment system, CAASPP.

Why is this important?

The ability to read proficiently is a fundamental skill that affects the learning experiences and school performance of children and adolescents. Students who are competent readers, as measured by their performance on reading tests, are more likely to perform well in other subjects, such as math and science. Reading achievement also predicts one's likelihood of graduating from high school and attending college.
