RECEIVED PERFECT SCORES ON THE CAASPP STATE TESTING
Eureka, California - October 27, 2021 – The Eureka City Schools (ECS) Board of Trustees will celebrate the achievements of three students who received perfect scores on one or more of the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) tests, otherwise known as the Smarter Balanced (SBAC) Assessments, in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics for the 2021 testing year.
According to Assistant Superintendent, Michael Davies-Hughes, “This is a great accomplishment for these students, especially considering the challenges in mastering the California State Standards during a pandemic. We are proud of the dedication of these students. This is a recognition not only to the students, but also to the teachers, support staff, and families who helped them along the way.” Out of the more than 1,000 students who took the tests in grades 3-8 and 11, one elementary student, one middle school student, and one high school student, received a perfect score on one or more of the CAASPP exams. One student, district-wide, received a perfect score on both the ELA and Math portions of the assessments.
The ECS Board will recognize each of the students for their stellar achievement at the ECS Board Meeting on Thursday, October 28, 2021 at 6:30 p.m. The students and their respective 2020-2021 schools are Willow Dinning - Washington Elementary School, Rina Ferroggiaro - Zane Middle School, and Alyson Johnson - Eureka High School.
