Vaca-area students fall short of meeting standards on new state test – The Reporter

By Richard Bammer

Results of the new, all-computerized tests taken by thousands of Vacaville-area public school students indicate a majority did not meet state standards, the California Department of Education reported on Wednesday.

In Vacaville Unified, 64 percent of those tested last spring, some 6,200 in grades three to eight and 11, failed to meet the standard in mathematics. In English, 55 percent of students overall did not meet the standard of the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress, or CAASPP for short.

In Dixon Unified, a Title 1 district, meaning the majority of its 3,500 students are classified as low-income and poor, 69 percent of 1,700 students tested failed to meet the standard in mathematics, and 67 percent overall failed to meet the standard in English.

In Travis Unified, with about 5,100 students, many from Travis Air Force Base, some 61 percent of nearly 2,900 tested failed to meet the standard in mathematics, and 49 percent failed to meet the standard in English.
