CAASPP 25/26+: Update SBAC (ELA/Math) & CAST Achievement Level Descriptors to Advanced/Proficient/Developing/Minimal
CDE has updated the Achievement Level Descriptor wording for SBAC (ELA/Math) and CAST beginning with 25/26 results. Aeries should display the new descriptor wording wherever CAASPP achievement levels are shown (ex: Test Scores performance levels and Test Details), and ensure supporting code tables reflect the updated terminology.
Old descriptors: Standard Exceeded / Standard Met / Standard Nearly Met / Standard Not Met
New descriptors (25/26+): Advanced / Proficient / Developing / Minimal
This change should be applied for 25/26 testing administrations and later, and should not unintentionally rewrite how historical (pre‑25/26) results are labeled if those must remain aligned to the wording used on SSRs for that administration year.
