CST testing is April 16-19

All freshman, sophomores and juniors will be taking the CST (California Standards Test) April 16 through April 19 at Hanford High School, Hanford West High School and Sierra Pacific High School.

 The State of California and the federal No Child Left Behind Act require all schools to test a minimum of 95% of all students on the CST. Please make sure students are in school on these days by scheduling students appointments outside the school day or on other days.

Students are encouraged to give their best effort on these tests, as the scores are posted to students' official transcripts. Results will be mailed to parents late in the summer.

For more information, please contact your school Testing Secretary.
