North Monterey County Unified School District is proud to share our latest CAASPP (California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress) and California School Dashboard results.

Over the past two years, our students and staff have made continued academic progress and improved student outcomes.

CAASPP results for Math and English Language Arts are for Grades 3-8, and 11.

• Outpacing the State: NMCUSD improved its Distance from Proficiency (DFP) by 9 points, nearly double California’s 5.7-point gain.

• Doubling State Growth: the district improved its Math Distance from Proficiency by 17.7 points, more than twice the statewide gain of 8.7 points.

This measures how far students score above or below state grade-level standards.

Mathematics:

• More Than Double State Growth: NMCUSD gained 17.7 points compared to California’s 8.7 points.

• Nearly Double State Growth: NMCUSD gained 9 points compared to California’s 5.7 points.

Beyond test scores, our district climate and college/career preparedness indicators show great progress:

• We have reduced chronic absenteeism by 7.7 percentage points, bringing the district rate to 14.1% - 2 points below the state average.
