Grades

Every result row carries a grade code — Table B of the record layouts. Some codes are aggregates rather than a single grade, and which grades an aggregate covers depends on the test.

Code	Label	Aggregate
KN	Kindergarten	no
01	Grade 1	no
02	Grade 2	no
03	Grade 3	no
04	Grade 4	no
05	Grade 5	no
06	Grade 6	no
07	Grade 7	no
08	Grade 8	no
09	Grade 9	no
10	Grade 10	no
11	Grade 11	no
12	Grade 12	no
14	All High School	yes
99	High School Graduating Class	yes
13	All Grades	yes

What the aggregates cover

Test	13 — All Grades
Smarter Balanced, CAA for ELA/mathematics	Grades 3–8 and grade 11.
CAST, CAA for Science	Grades 5, 8, 10, 11 and 12.
California Spanish Assessment	Grades 3–12.
Summative and Initial ELPAC, and their alternates	Kindergarten through grade 12.

14 — All High School covers grades 10, 11 and 12 for the science tests and grades 9–12 for the CSA. 99 — High School Graduating Class reports every grade twelve student who took a science test in high school, whichever year they took it in.

Warning

No mean scale score is published on an aggregate row. Scale scores are set per grade and are not comparable across grades, so the state leaves the field empty; the percentages on the same row are valid.

Note

From the 2024–25 administration, ELPAC kindergarten figures no longer include transitional kindergarten students.
