The CAASPP Import tool allows the importing of student scores for seven different assessments. Users are given the option to import results for the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP) and the English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC Summative or ELPAC Initial).
This process is not related to the CAASPP Paperless Reporting tools.

CAASPP Import Workflow
| Step | Campus Location |
|---|
| 1. | Students take assessment.
This step is performed outside of Campus. | N/A |
| 2. | Scores are received from ETS, usually in a caret delimited or comma delimited format.
This step is performed outside of Campus. | N/A |
| 3. | Use the Import tool to import CAASPP scores (imports all seven files) or ELPAC (imports files dependent on choices made in the report editor). | Assessment > CAASPP Import |
| 4a. | If parent tests are available in Campus, those test structures are located and scores are imported. | Assessments > Test Setup > Test |
| 4b. | If parent tests are not available in Campus, those test structures are created. This is only a skeletal entry of the test that includes the Date, State Code and Result. Additional setup can be done AFTER scores have been imported. |
| 5. | When the import is complete, the scores display on the Student Assessment tab and in Campus Student and Campus Parent (if assessments are selected to display on Display Options). | Student Information > General > Assessment Campus Student Campus Parent |
Report Logic
This import tool imports CAASPP assessment data for all CAASPP tests (nine different import layouts). The student's State Identification Number (SSID) is used to match data from the file to the student's record in Campus.
The following ELPAC tests can be imported:
ELPAC (English Language Proficiency Assessments for California) Summative (Overall):
- ELPAC Listening
- ELPAC Oral
- ELPAC Reading
- ELPAC Speaking
- ELPAC Writing
- ELPAC Written
ELPAC (English Language Proficiency Assessments for California) Initial:
- ELPAC Listening
- ELPAC Oral
- ELPAC Reading
- ELPAC Speaking
- ELPAC Writing
- ELPAC Written
There are four ELPAC Initial Options, one for each of the last four years - 2018-2019 through 2021-2022. The imported tests are the same; the only difference is the layout of the test files. Verify you are selecting the appropriate Import Type when importing these files.
The following CAASPP tests can be imported:
CAASPP (California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress) 2021-2122
- 01 - Smarter Balanced for ELA 2021-2022
- 02 - Smarter Balanced for Mathematics 2021-2022
- 03 - CAA for ELA
- 04 - CAA for Mathematics
- 05 - CAA for Science
- 06 - California Science Test 2018-2019/2019-2020

- 02 - Smarter Balanced for Mathematics 2017-2020
- 03 - CAA for ELA
- 04 - CAA for Mathematics
- 05 - CAA for Science
- 06 - California Science Test 2018-2019/2019-2020
- 09 - California Spanish Assessment 2018-2019/2019-2020
CAASPP (California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress) 2017-2018
- 01 - Smarter Balanced for ELA 2017-2020
- 02 - Smarter Balanced for Mathematics 2017-2020
- 03 - CAA for ELA
- 04 - CAA for Mathematics
- 05 - CAA for Science
- 06 - California Science Test 2017-2018
- 08 - Standards-based Tests in Spanish (STS) for Reading/Language Arts (RLA)
When a record for one of these layouts exists in the Test Setup tool, scores can be imported to that record when the name of that assessment is chosen on the Import tool. For example, when importing scores for Smarter Balanced for ELA layout, choose that item from the dropdown list for that assessment.
Multiple records in the Test Setup tool may exist for an assessment. Each of those records are listed on the editor when selecting an existing layout to import results. Name your assessment in the Test Setup tool uniquely (with a date, with initials, etc.).
Multiple Test Setup Entries for Same Test
Or, if a test structure record for a particular layout does NOT exist in the Test Setup, the Import tool can create a test structure in Test Setup with the required fields (date, score type, state code) and the scores are imported to that record. Once the import is complete, you can add additional items to the Test Setup record (like comments or passing score values, etc.)

Import Assessment Data
Because of the time of year the students take these tests, it is assumed this Import is used several times throughout the year to import the different assessment types. Therefore, the procedures for using the Import tool are broken into three separate sections depending on which assessment data is being imported.
Please note that Excel files cannot be imported.
Import Assessment Data for ELPAC Summative
- Select the ELPAC Summative option as the Import Type. Only the ELPAC Overall field is highlighted for import.
- For the Work to Perform field, select Test (to review the data that is imported prior to saving records to the database) or Import (to import data and save records to the database). Or, if scores should not be imported, choose Do not import these assessments.
- In the ELPAC Overall dropdown, select either the ELPAC Overall option or the Import to newly created test setup.
- Locate and choose the appropriate file to import. Follow the instructions on your screen for locating the file.
- Click the Run Import button. After creating any new test/assessment setups, refresh the screen. This adds the newly created Test Setup to the dropdown list. The system processes the import and a Summary file of the data imported displays, and lists any warnings or errors that may have occurred (see image below).

Error and Warning Descriptions
The CAASPP Import tool follows the regular Score Import Wizard functionality for reporting errors and warnings. The following errors and/or warnings definitions apply here.
- Ambiguity – Multiple student matches found or multiple records in the source file for one student.
- Discrepancy – No match or partial match found.
- Exception – Invalid value or format of data to be imported OR a student is found who does not match the selected school(s) of the import. For these exceptions, error messages are returned indicating an invalid value for a specific field was found and the user is instructed on the appropriate format.
Reasons for Import Failures
An import immediately fails if any of the following are true:
- Import is missing the data file to be imported.
- Import encounters unexpected errors (details are listed in the error details).
- A test (parent or child) does not import unless at least one of the following fields contains a value:
- Test Type
- Scale Score
- Raw Score
- Result
Data Matching Errors
Data from the file being imported must exactly match the student to which it is mapped. Matching is based on the student identifier selected for matching/mapping when the import is created.
The import returns an error if any of the following applies to the attempted match:
- Student identifier could not be found.
- First name does not match student identifier.
- Last name does not match student identifier.
- Date of birth does not match student identifier.
