SBAC INFORMATION FOR STUDENTS

What is SBAC?
The SBAC assessments are given to 11th grade students in the area of English Language Arts, Math, and Science as a measure of student achievement and progress.

When is SBAC?
● Mathematics: April 8-12
● English Language Arts (ELA): April 15-19
● Science: April 22-26

Why take the SBAC?
The SBAC assessments measure student proficiency in ELA, Math, and Science. Your SBAC score measures your knowledge and skills necessary to succeed in college, career, and life. Orange High School receives its school “score” in part from its overall SBAC results. OHS wants all students to participate in these assessments in order to give OHS a score that accurately reflects the work of our students, teachers, and staff.
